In the press release, the AEMO cite weather and reduced gas demand as reasons for the underlying change in dynamics:
“Favourable weather conditions toward the end of winter and reduced gas generation demand have allowed Iona to start refilling its storage capacity. Iona inventory is currently sitting at 44% or 10,736 TJ, while Newcastle LNG is currently holding 556 TJ, which is 36% full.”
Coincidentally, Goeff Chambers and Colin Packham published the article ‘Perfect storm’ warning issued to Australia’s east coast energy market last night on The Australian website. It quoted several energy executives who voiced that concerns over gas production and infrastructure still lingered, lamenting that the east coast had “dodged a winter bullet”.

On Friday 11th March 2022, the AEMO published its 19-page ‘Addendum to the Draft 2022 ISP’, providing more detail on the four topics identified by the AER.
Our fourth article looking forward to this Friday afternoon (3rd February 2023) in the Queensland region, where successive AEMO STPASA forecast data is showing considerable variability about what peak demand might be for the QLD region (it *might*, if predictions turn into reality, smash the prior all-time record). Dan Lee looks into how the demand forecast has been evolving and what to watch for this Friday afternoon.
A short article on Mon 23rd Oct 2023 about an AEMO’s publication of the latest Quarterly Energy Dynamics (a review of 2023 Q3). This follows closely from AER’s Wholesale Markets Quarterly for the same period.
Last week, the AEMO submitted a rule change request to the AEMC for a redevelopment of the ST PASA process (and data sets published – to facilitate what would be a great increase in market transparency).
