In what seems (to me) to be an extraordinary measure, AEMO speaks directly to the operators of Wind and Solar assets in the NEM, asking them to update...
Took 2-3 times longer than planned (as there were a few different interesting observations that came out) but here is our initial - and perhaps only! - review...
Guest author, Tristan Edis, looks particularly at the Queensland Region of the NEM, and an almost complete stop in the development of new renewables projects.
42 months after I posted some initial thoughts about "the opacity of rooftop PV" it seems that - when viewed in certain ways, discussed here - the problem...
Rapidly growing solar PV output has been widely tagged as the cause of low and even negative prices in Queensland. But in any market it’s the behaviour of...
A synopsis of the presentation provided by guest author, Jonathon Dyson, at the Solar Asset Management conference earlier today in Sydney.
A quick article highlighting how the trend in aggregate number of unit starts, across the whole of the NEM, highlights the scale of one of the core underlying...
Guest author, Tristan Edis, takes a look at the changing pattern of generation by fuel type in 2018
A quick look at the effect that the monsoonal rains in northern Queensland are having on several power generation options in northern Queensland.
Replacement of yet another blown LED at home on the weekend prompted me to dive into some historical voltage readings (made accessible through our Solar Analytics subscription). I...
Our guest author, Dave Guiver from ERM Power, outlines some new options for hedging in relation to the influx of many new large-scale solar PV projects
The start of some analysis that helps to identify the variety of factors that combined to give a shaky balance between supply and demand in NSW last week.
Already we are seeing the highly correlated output of solar PV deliver interesting challenges for the NEM - both to the project proponents themselves, and also to the...
An advertisement seen on TV in recent days from a (relatively) new entrant in the energy sector reinforces, to me, the need for the energy sector more broadly...
Following on from the Let's Talk About FCAS post, the focus of this post is the business case and subsequent optimisation challenge for getting involved in FCAS, now...
Afternoon demand on Christmas Day as low as overnight demand as a result of several factors
With Genex releasing an ASX announcement of first revenue at Kidston Solar Farm, we use NEMreview v7 to have a quick look.
Following on from my earlier post about my own experiences as a small power generator (with solar PV at home), I've taken a broader look at solar PV...
There's already been a large uptake of distributed energy generation data, and there promises to be much more to come in this energy transition. With this comes some...
Following Wednesday's article by Paul McArdle on WattClarity, we've reviewed the (very cloudy) weather patterns for Friday 19th May 2017, and the accuracy of Solcast's predictions of a...
