Great to see Project Symphony delivering on this first major milestone! Demonstrating how #DER will be key to the future of the #WEM is worth celebrating! Well done to the @AEMO_Energy @SynergyEnergy & @westernpowerwa teams! #SWIS

Project Symphony has provided an exciting glimpse into WA’s energy future, with the VPP aggregating its first 200kW package of residentially generated solar, and successfully participating in a simulated bi-directional WEM. https://t.co/m4xJBSV0Nr

AEMO's WEM electricity statement of opportunities shows how critical #DER will be for Australia's not-too-distant future energy system.

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

While one in three WA homes already have rooftop solar, AEMO’s 2021 WEM ESOO report projects rooftop and large-scale commercial solar systems will reach around 40% of total generation capacity by 2030-31. https://t.co/BnP5uBhoZv

Energy explainer: check out AEMO’s ‘minimum operational demand’ factsheet and the influence consumers’ rooftop solar is having on Australia’s changing power system. https://t.co/GjUwZTICgU

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

A new minimum operation demand record was set in Western Australia on 14 March 2021, dropping to 952 MW, 33 MW below the previous record, with estimated distributed #solar output of 1,026 MW at the time. View more insights in the Q1 2021 #QED here: https://t.co/cV4fJ2dxSo

Western Australia’s implementation of the DER Roadmap is on track, achieving several major milestones in its first year including the launch of AEMO’s WA DER Register (https://t.co/ObqftQpkun), a WA government report finds: https://t.co/tCjIO737gA

[Tom Butler @TommiiButler]

It's these scenarios that absolutely justify efforts to more effectively integrate DER in the WEM. Great that we have the WA Government's DER Roadmap to guide this work!

Further details of the record breaking winter weekend are now available in our latest News Update - we have provided data, graphs and context for the unique trio of demand records. Get the full story here https://t.co/6kkv3pk5wK

@internetzlaura Bah!

[Tom Butler @TommiiButler]

Electticity grids are rapidly changing all around the world. In the NEM the need to replace an aging generation fleet must be a major driver.

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

The National Electricity Market has seen unprecedented change over the last twenty years, driven largely by utility scale grid renewable generation. We chart this incredible evolution in our latest animated video, watch below and here https://t.co/3wJfzOYIxw

[Audrey Zibelman @aazibelman]

A fantastic way to see the change in the NEM

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

Consistent with findings released in 2019 and assuming there are no major changes to committed capacity, AEMO’s 2020 WEM ESOO forecasts sufficient capacity will be available over the next decade in Western Australia. https://t.co/ATMHCN3b6B

At AEMO, one of our four core values is Inclusive. That is why we want to vocalise our support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement unfolding around the globe, and acknowledge that as #ReconciliationWeek ends, much more needs to be done to end racial discrimination and injustice.

[Audrey Zibelman @aazibelman]

It is time for us all to speak out and protest the history and rise of racism and now antisemitism in America. Staying silent is cowardly and an insult to everyone who has fought and died for social justice.

[Tom Butler @TommiiButler]

Amongst all the C-19 noise and stress it's great to see the WA government maintaining focus on the energy transformation. Congratulations on today's release of the #DER Roadmap. @AEMO_Media @MarkMcGowanMP @BillJohnstonMLA

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

AEMO welcomes the release of the WA Government’s five-year Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Roadmap, which will deliver reliable and affordable energy for West Australians. Find more info here: https://t.co/mbxmHOt3Fh

@internetzlaura @gingerandhoney Yes. Clearly it's in the Podargidae family. (Something I also learnt not long ago)

@vanOnselenP He's in yr 1. I'm sure he'll be fine without anyway.

[Tom Butler @TommiiButler]

@vanOnselenP Just received an email from my son's school: anyone who's kids are taken out early by their parents without a medical certificate won't be given curriculum material to support home ed if (when) they are instructed to close. WTF
