WEEK COMMENCING 2016-01-03

week 1 of 2016

We report (graphically) some aspects of the National Electricity Market (NEM) for the week 2016-01-03 to 2016-01-10.

Note all times are in NEM-time, or Australian Eastern Standard Time.

Data is sourced from

  • AEMO’s 5 minute dispatch data for scheduled generation units.
  • AEMO’s half hourly aggregated price and demand data
  • AEMO’s emission intensity data

DISPATCH

Dispatch coloured by fuel type for each region (inclduing the NEM) in terms of

  • total megawatts output,
  • as a percentage of total dispatch, and
  • as a percentage of the total regulated capacity for the specified fuel type.
