As anticipated before the weekend, NEM-wide ‘Market Demand‘ hit a four-year high, peaking at 33,674 MW at the 17:30 dispatch interval this afternoon.

Earlier today, Paul reported that actuals were landing above market demand forecasts. This held true until roughly 18:00, when the ‘worm turned’ with actuals beginning to align more closely with earlier P30 projections, as shown below.
