Whilst wrapping up the year, it’s also worth pointing readers here to the 27-page presentation deck that was delivered on 5th November 2025 with respect to modelling completed by AusEnergy Services Limited (ASL … i.e. formerly known as AEMO Services) of possible evolution of ‘Resilience to Variable Renewable Energy Lulls’ into the future in a climate changed world:
(I believe) there’s also supposed to be a recording of the presentation on the ASL website somewhere … but I can’t for the life of me find it?
PS1 here’s the video recording of the presentation
Turns out that the helpful people at ASL have pointed me to the fact that the recording of the presentation was embedded on this 2025 IIO Report page (i.e. top right), and also on Youtube.
So I’ve embedded it directly here, for ease of reference to our readers:
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.
Guest author Stephen Wilson chaired an ‘ESIG Down Under’ conference webinar on ‘Designing the Energy Markets of the Future’. Whilst introducing the session, Stephen presented a diagram that helped to clarify the combination of different time horizons that need to be considered in holistically describing ‘the Market’. It will be of interest to WattClarity readers.
The reasonable response is not to model the world as simpler than it is, but to confront its variability head-on: to treat stochastic inputs as stochastic, to plan for the distribution rather than its midpoint, and to build the margin of safety that resilience demands.
Following the release of GenInsights Quarterly Updates for 2023 Q3 we’ve chosen to share here one of the clear challenges for large-scale VRE that is emerging (particularly in 2023 Q3) due to the rise and rise of rooftop PV.
