While we all love Australian summers, it’s also the season that puts our energy system under the most strain due to high electricity demand.

Listen to AEMO’s Mike Davidson, Manager of Operational Forecasting and Systems Capability, who explains the innovative techniques used to closely monitor the ever changing weather conditions. You will also hear how all of us can play a role in managing the power system (and potentially save a dollar or two doing it).
