CEO, Australian Energy Market Operator (@AEMO_Energy). Views my own.

[Daniel Westerman @dfwesterman]

Another report full of insights about Australia's energy systems and markets. Kudos to our operational teams who manage these dynamic conditions, and to everyone involved with keeping the lights on, gas flowing and delivering new infrastructure for Australian consumers.

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

AEMO's latest QED captures the trends & outcomes in Australia’s energy systems & markets during the December quarter. Key highlights include renewable supply reaching 46% of total energy used & records in rooftop & grid-scale solar output. https://t.co/V7lS6VCGxR

With renewable generation now supplying 40% of electricity into east coast homes & businesses the 2024 ESOO highlights that expected investments in new generation, storage & transmission must be delivered on time & in full to maintain reliable electricity. https://t.co/7DSR16bmWO

[Daniel Westerman @dfwesterman]

Australia’s power system are already capable of harnessing world leading levels of renewable energy. These two reports continue @AEMO_Energy’s journey to identify and eliminate technical constraints so that Australian homes and business can harness even more into the future.

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

AEMO has released 2 engineering reports outlining Australia’s required steps to operate our electricity grids with higher renewable energy contributions.

Today I spoke at #AustralianCleanEnergySummit2024, where I had the chance to share the insights @AEMO_Energy has as the real-time system operator of Australia’s energy systems & markets & how this data underpins & informs our future planning. My speech: https://t.co/UR20R9RYlL

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

AEMO's published the 2024 Integrated System Plan, a roadmap for the #energytransition. It includes an optimal pathway of generation, storage & transmission investments needed to meet consumers' energy needs as we transition to a #netzeroeconomy by 2050. https://t.co/x8kKFBXXc5

[Daniel Westerman @dfwesterman]

AEMO has published the draft Integrated System Plan, showing that the lowest‐cost pathway for secure & reliable electricity is from renewables, connected by transmission, supported by batteries, pumped hydro & backed-up by gas. I encourage you to read it: https://t.co/G4fxOMVOIc

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

Our CEO’s @FinancialReview #Energy & #ClimateSummit speech highlights it's been 25 years since Australia boldly introduced the National Electricity Market. Our challenge now is to create an energy system fit for Australia’s net-zero future. Read more here: https://t.co/d7hXGpEqMN

WA’s Wholesale Electricity Market has new capabilities to support the State Government's energy transition strategy. Launched yesterday, the electricity market has been designed to facilitate WA’s future energy needs as it transitions to higher rates of #renewableenergy

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

On Sunday, the National Electricity Market hit a new minimum operational demand record (11,224 MW, down 169 MW), with #rooftopsolar supplying 51% of total demand. Records were also broken in QLD & SA, with rooftop solar meeting 99.7% of total demand in SA from 1pm to 1:30pm.

[AEMO @AEMO_Energy]

Yesterday, the National Electricity Market set a record low demand of 11,393 MW at 12.30pm, a 4.2% fall from the previous record set last spring (Nov 2022). At the time, rooftop and grid-scale solar contributed 57% of total electricity supply in the NEM.
