At some point we’ll find the time to revisit, complete and publish the longitudinal analysis we commenced with respect to ‘large changes in ‘Market Demand’ in various regions’ …

 

But all I have time to do now is note another change greater than 400MW in a 5-minute period – this time in in Victoria to the 11:10 dispatch interval (NEM time) on Sunday 2nd March 2025, as captured in this snapshot from a ‘Notifications’ widget email alert from ez2view focused on these changes:

2025-03-02-at-11-06-ez2view-Notifications-VIC-Demand-Down-401MW

… and here it is in NEMwatch, for a bit of broader context:

2025-03-02-at-11-30-NEMwatch-VIC

These events are definitely growing more complex … at least in part due to the rooftop solar juggernaut rolling onwards.
