A quick post today to mark (with reference to our summer challenge) the highest demand across the NEM thus far – 31,099MW at 15:40 yesterday. This is shown in this snapshot from NEM-Watch:
It’s useful to view this demand peak in the context of how peak demand has trended over 15 years.
Demand in Queensland is shown in the orange zone above – it rose a little more, to peak at 8304MW at 16:20 on the day (still 700MW or so off a record).
