As noted in yesterday evening’s article (about one big ‘wrinkle’), I was off to the Brisbane session of the Nelson Review today. Here's two slides that jumped out.
From Monday 5th May to Friday 9th May 2025 was like an unofficial Energy Week in Melbourne for me, out-and-about at a few events. Here's my record of some of what happened...
Dan dives into the history of the NEM’s market cap and explores how high-end prices contribute to regional settlement costs and cap payouts.
All public submissions from the initial consultation stage of the Nelson Review are now available on the DCCEEW website.
Submissions at the AEMC already closed over a week ago, with respect to their review of WDRM. Here's some starting thoughts ...
I've promised to write this article for some time, but a few recent events (and looming start of FPP) have caused me to publish this now.
On Tuesday 15th April 2025, the AEMO published its draft report on 'Congestion Information Resource Guidelines', seeking feedback by Monday 19th May 2025.
As the next steps in implementing the AEMC's ISF Reforms, the AEMO has published: (a) on 7th April a consultation; and (b) on 17th April a HLIA.
On Monday 7th April, the AEMO commenced a consultation on the Constraint Formulation Guidelines - which touches on three different changes that some of our readers will find of interest.

On Thursday 17th April 2025, the AER published its Final Decision on the Service Target Performance Incentive Scheme (STIPS) for transmission companies.
5th article in a series, about the AEMO's ICF0002 initiative (and prior to tomorrow's EWCF Meeting) - to identify some questions and concerns.
As promised in prior articles, here's an illustration of (some of the) different Ramp Trajectories considered in Dispatch within the NEM.
4th article in a series, about the AEMO's ICF0002 initiative - clarifying 2 approaches might (possibly) be explored to resolve.
3rd article in a series, about the AEMO's ICF0002 initiative - and a possible 'solution' being considered (but for which we have concerns).
2nd article in a series, about the AEMO's ICF0002 initiative (re problems with the ~20 second lag in receipt of Dispatch Target).
1st article in a series, about the AEMO's ICF0002 initiative (specifically the content in EWCF meeting on 19th March 2024).
We've facilitated a number of articles on WattClarity relating to the looming FPP changes (now 10 weeks away). Here's two images I've drawn up to (hopefully) illustrate my understanding of what these changes represent.
In his third article, Jack Fox uses the Non Financial Operation (NFO) data to take a look at some VRE units, and how they would have performed under FPP.
