November, 2015

We report (graphically) some aspects of the National Electricity Market (NEM) for November, 2015 from
2015-11-01 to 2015-12-01.

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

Data is sourced from

DISPATCH

Dispatch coloured by fuel type for each region (including 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.
