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.

Second region today (Sun 31st Oct 2021) to see a new 'minimum demand' record was the Victorian region ... when looking at Scheduled Demand (after correcting my mistake about NSW).
On Sunday 31st October 2021 we see minimum demand level drop considerably lower for the South Australian region ... and also a new record set on a NEM-wide basis.
Capping off a weekend of new low points for minimum demand in NSW, and NEM-wide (and some near misses elsewhere) this table sums up where the low points sit.
Slightly later than happened for the NSW region, here's the stats for the large reduction for 'minimum demand' on a NEM-wide basis for Sunday 17th October 2021
A short note to recognise that the 'low point record' has been nudged lower on several fronts already (Sun 17th Oct) ... and forecast to drop further still
A short note at a 'new normal' condition that we can expect to see increasingly in NEM regions (including QLD) as rooftop PV continues to grow in scale.
Here's the event details for the discussion scheduled for Thursday 2nd December 2021 about 'Early insights from Five Minute Settlement', thanks to AIE Brisbane.
