Read MoreFrom the 12:05 dispatch interval, today’s series of SMS alerts has started from the 12:05 dispatch interval (NEM time) announcing new ‘lowest ever*’ points for ‘Market Demand’ in NSW.
At 11:15 (NEM time) on Sat 26th Oct 2024 the NEM-wide ‘Market Demand’ is already down at only 9,909MW (i.e. already lowest ever).
At 09:01 (NEM time) on Saturday 26th October 2024 the AEMO has published MN119423 to update their forecast for MSL1 today in Victoria
We wondered what the very, very low demand forecast for NSW (on Sat 26th Oct 2024) that might mean for NEM-wide demand – so we flipped the ‘Forecast Convergence’ widgets to look at NEM-wide ‘Market Demand’ and our jaws hit the floor …
It was only 5 days (on Sunday 20th October 2024) when we saw a new ‘lowest ever*’ point for ‘Market Demand’ in NSW … so we’re amazed to see AEMO forecasting a low point for tomorrow (Sat 26th Oct) a fully 15% lower than that ‘lowest ever’ point.
At 14:52 on Thursday 24th October the AEMO published MN119315 warning of forecast MSL1 on Sunday 27th October 2024.
AEMO has published MN119194 on Tuesday afternoon 22nd October 2024 at 15:13 about forecast MSL1 for Victoria on Saturday 26th October 2024.
