As noted 7 days ago (Tue 5th July), I’ve just returned from over a month away (and disconnected from the NEM), and have been striving to catch up.

Paul was one of the founders of Global-Roam in February 2000. He is currently the CEO of the company and the principal author of WattClarity. Writing for WattClarity has become a natural extension of his work in understanding the electricity market, enabling him to lead the team in developing better software for clients.
Before co-founding the company, Paul worked as a Mechanical Engineer for the Queensland Electricity Commission in the early 1990s. He also gained international experience in Japan, the United States, Canada, the UK, and Argentina as part of his ES Cornwall Memorial Scholarship.
A quick look at this dispatch interval – as the 17th Case Study in the series looking at extreme results for Aggregate Raw Off-Target for all Semi-Scheduled DUIDs.

Matt Grover from Fluence shares insights into the NEM’s growing big battery fleet and what it means for the market and their operators. This article follows on from his keynote at the ESS two weeks ago.
From 10:00 today (Friday 10th September 2021), ElectraNet’s new synchronous condensers (which have been under testing) will be deliver a boost to Semi-Scheduled units in South Australia.

Hi Paul, you have probably got this a hundred times already, but in case it was missed; in the headline you have Fri 13th instead of Wed 13th. Spooky.
oops!
