We’ve already written 20 separate articles (collated here) about that day. Scanning the titles of the articles we see:
1) This was another day in which there were earlier forecasts of LOR3 (i.e. a severe supply-demand balance forecast sufficient enough to flag possible load shedding) for the NSW region;
2) Whilst this did not actually progress to the point of dispatch, we did see:
(a) A level of ‘Market Demand’ across the NEM that was highest in 4 years; and also
(b) A level of ‘Underlying Demand’ up above 38,000MW … so very high, in historical context
3) In large part because of extreme temperatures … with some parts of Victoria hitting 47°C for the first time since Black Summer.
4) Amongst the many interesting events on the day, we’ve noted a number of interesting outcomes for units in Victoria … and particularly for Wind Farms.
