Australian Energy Market Operator

A series of planned and unplanned generation outages over the last few days has resulted in Lack of Reserve (LOR) conditions in the NSW region. However, these conditions did not result in any involuntary load shedding in NSW.

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has announced it has called on Reliability and Emergency Reserve Trader (RERT) providers to be on standby this afternoon to deliver contingency support if required to provide additional supply across Victoria and South Australia.

Although high temperatures are predicted across the southern states this weekend, the supply/demand balance looks good in all regions. We have published an article regarding energy facts and tips for staying safe and cool on our new Energy Live microsite.

Today AEMO has published the 2018 training calender. We are pleased to announce a reduction in course fees to allow a wider audience to participate in understanding the complex energy sector.
