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.

In this special episode of AEMO On Air, we take a listen to AEMO CEO @dfwesterman's speech at the @FinancialReview's Energy & Climate Summit earlier this week. Spotify: spoti.fi/40f0qbH Apple: apple.co/40f0CHX #afrenergyclimatesummit 🎙️ Audio thanks to the AFR.

Today CEO @dfwesterman spoke at the @FinancialReview's #afrenergyclimatesummit. His speech gave a glimpse into operating the energy system of the future. Read the full speech: bit.ly/3BPaYE1 📸 Financial Review Energy & Climate Summit | photographer Michael Quelch

Today, I was pleased to share with stakeholders our business & financial performance & to publish our FY24 Annual Report. It was an opportunity to share @AEMO_Energy's achievements & progress. Results presentation: youtu.be/LFE7dIfj8pM Full report: aemo.com.au/about/corporat…

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. bit.ly/473fs5u

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.

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: bit.ly/4cGC1iy

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. bit.ly/45K0ocn

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: bit.ly/3RpuzyJ

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: bit.ly/3LTKSCd

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

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.

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.

Pleased to speak on @abcnews @RadioNational this morning to explain @AEMO_Energy's latest reliability outlook. Listen here: abc.net.au/listen/program…

Much of the national power grid is facing substantial reliability problems over the next decade, and as soon as this summer, without rapid investment in both electricity generation and transmission. ab.co/3El5HlU

AEMO’s 2023 WEM ESOO highlights the need for significant and sustained investment in generation, storage and demand-side projects, along with transmission, to meet reliability standards in the Wholesale Electricity Market over the next decade. Read more: bit.ly/3E0iCcM

“Coal fired power stations are closing down & Australia’s cheapest replacement is firmed renewable energy. Being built where the sun shines & wind blows, it needs new transmission to connect to towns & cities” With @PatsKarvelas @RadioNational @AEMO_Energy abc.net.au/radionational/…

AEMO has published its 2023 Inputs, Assumptions and Scenarios Report (IASR) incorporating future energy planning scenarios developed with energy industry stakeholders that will be used in its forecasting, planning analysis and publication. Read more: bit.ly/3DvG7dt

Pleased to discuss Australia’s #energytransition on @BreakfastNews this week with @mjrowland68 and Lisa Millar, including sharing latest insights from @AEMO_Energy. Read / watch here: abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

At today’s Australian Clean Energy Summit, AEMO CEO @dfwesterman reiterated the urgent need for investment and delivery, and for more to be done to ensure a smooth energy transition for all Australians. Read Daniel’s full speech here: bit.ly/3pM2kkj #ACES2023
