‘Market Demand’ in NSW above 13,000MW in mid afternoon Thu 29th Feb 2024

A quick snapshot of NEMwatch at the 15:30 dispatch interval (NEM time) with the ‘Market Demand’ in the NSW region at 13,110MW (which I think means that it’s now the highest level seen in summer 2023-24 … will check more thoroughly later).

2024-02-29-at-15-30-NEMwatch-NSW-13110MW

Quick notes:

1)  The demand is well into the ‘orange zone’, but still a long way below the all-time maximum by this measure (14,649MW set many years ago).

2)  In the Market Notice window shows we’re now in ‘Actual LOR1’

3)  We also see a price spike to $16,600/MWh (i.e. at the Market Price Cap) at the 15:10 dispatch interval … might look more into that separately.

 

Stay tuned if more happens…
