AEMO delivers a range of planning and forecasting publications for the National Electricity Market (NEM), including the NEM Electricity Statement of Opportunities (ESOO) and the Integrated System Plan (ISP). AEMO has prepared a Consultation Paper to provide information and seek stakeholder submissions on inputs and assumptions for AEMO’s 2020 forecasting and planning publications, including but not limited to feedback on:

  • Changes required to key inputs and assumptions used in AEMO’s 2019 NEM planning and forecasting publications that affect AEMO’s supply and demand forecasting models,
  • CSIRO’s latest 2019-20 GenCost draft which provides an annual update to generation technology costs.
  • New gas price forecasts prepared by Core Energy, December 2019.

AEMO is committed to continually improve its forecast accuracy to better meet stakeholder needs. AEMO respects the expertise of its stakeholders and values all feedback, which is critical in guiding meaningful progress and developing a strategic vision for the future development of Australia’s energy system.

AEMO invites submissions on the inputs and assumptions to be used in Forecasting and Planning publications for 2020. AEMO’s timeline for this consultation is outlined below. Submissions should be made to forecasting.planning@aemo.com.au.
