Evening volatility in QLD and NSW (and low IRPM) on Monday evening 11th November 2024

A short article this evening with a snapshot from the NEMwatch entry-level dashboard the 17:55 dispatch interval:

2024-11-11-at-17-55-NEMwatch-QLD

In this dispatch interval note that:

1)  Spot price in QLD at $4,000/MWh, somewhat elevated in NSW … but quite low in the other three regions

2)  Constraints on both QNI and Directlink forcing both interconnectors to export southwards (despite the price differential and ‘counter-price flows’).

3)  Boosted by the additional demand being supplied by these exports, but also noting low Available Generation in QLD, an IRPM for the QLD-only ‘Economic Island formed as a result down at only 9%.

 

Note that the 18:00 dispatch interval shows prices up in both QLD and NSW:
