The GSD2019, which we released on 28th January 2020, was very well received. This response has prompted us to make the publication of the Generator Statistical Digest an annual event.
With respect to the Generator Statistical Digest 2020 there are several important dates:
1) Last date of data was 31st December 2020 (wrapping out the 10-year period from 1st January 2011)
2) We had completed the build process by Wednesday 27th January 2021
3) On Friday 29th January 2021 we provided the dozens of clients who had pre-ordered (and saved, prior to release) early access to the electronic copy (PDF) of the GSD2020; and
4) From Monday 1st February 2021 the report is more broadly available as follows…
It provides a 10-year review (i.e. 1st Jan 2011 to 31 Dec 2020) of the performance of all DUIDs that were operating in the NEM in at least part of calendar 2020*.
* Older units (i.e. retired before 1st Jan 2020) are covered in the GSD2019 and GRC2018 beforehand, and we have nothing new to add there.
What follows here is information about what’s included in the Generator Statistical Digest 2020.

(B) Structure of the GSD2020
Following discussions with clients following the GRC2018, we settled on a design for the GSD2019 that started with what we completed for Part 3 in the GRC2018 – but extended it over two pages. This design has been copied for the GSD2020, and is illustrated as follows:
For all DUIDs that operated through some portion of CAL 2020 (i.e. for which AEMO published some non-zero InitialMW data) we will include two pages:
| ‘A’ Page … ten years 2011 to 2020 |
‘B’ Page … additional details for CAL2020 |
| This page was closely based on the ‘A’ page design used in the GSD2019. It was heavily based on the ‘page per DUID’ supplied in Part 3 of the GRC2018 – but was enhanced in a number of ways, based on feedback from clients.
For the GSD2020, this ‘A’ Page looks as follows:
Click here, or on the image, for more detail about the ‘A’ Page. |
This page was closely based on the ‘B’ page design used in the GSD2019. This page was added as an extension to the GRC2018.
It is designed to provide a detailed view of a range of additional statistics – particularly focused on 12 months of the most recent year. For the GSD2020, this ‘B’ Page looks as follows:

The advantage of this format is that it enables data to be reported, on the same basis, for all DUIDs!
(C) Evolution of the GSD2020
The GSD2020 builds on what came before:
(a) It updates the GSD2019 (released 28 Jan 2020) which contained data to 31 Dec 2019.
(b) The GSD2019 was itself was born out of our very successful GRC2018 (released 31 May 2019) which contained data to 31 Dec 2018, and commemorated 20 years of the operation of the NEM. We extended the statistical component of the GSD2018 based on:
i. the insights generated in the 180-page analytical component there, and also
ii. feedback we received after release of the GRC2018.
The evolution is described here:
As noted at the top, we’re intending to make this Generator Statistical Digest an evolving annual publication that delivers value to a wide range of stakeholders (not just the owners/operators of operational assets in the NEM).
(D) Parties involved in the GSD2020
As with the earlier GRC2018 and GSD2019 products, the GSD 2020 was a collaborative effort.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with this range of people to produce a product that’s of great value to a diverse range of clients.
