Around the middle of the day, on Saturday 10th January 2026 we utilised a collage of 3 widgets in ez2view to highlight that ‘‘Market Demand’ forecast to almost reach 13,000MW in NSW on a hot Saturday 10th January 2026’.

Here’s that same window, time-travelled back to the 18:40 dispatch interval (NEM time) on Saturday 10th January 2026 to highlight that:

  • At 18:30 the ‘Market Demand’ reached 13,137MW; and
  • 10MW higher at 18:35 being 13,147MW.

… which we can see, by ‘looking up a vertical’, was substantially higher than the preceding P5 predispatch forecasts.
