The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has today released its 2017/18 summer readiness report, which outlines all actions taken to best prepare the National Electricity Market to meet your energy consumer requirements.

Close collaboration delivers a summer of positive energy

Video: The changing generation mix explained

Australia’s power system is in the midst of significant transformation. Not sure what we mean? Well check out our animation that visually explains the change in generation within the National Electricity Market (NEM) since it was established in late 1998!

If you have access to an electric vehicle (EV) you can now travel along the world's longest electric super highway in a single state.

AEMO puts summer power plan in place

Every year, AEMO works closely with governments and the energy sector to prepare for the summer peak demand period. Damien Sanford is responsible for managing Australia’s electricity and gas operations and explains how AEMO has moved early to prepare for summer following last year’s blackouts in South Australia and the closure of Hazelwood power station in Victoria.

Growth in solar is a global game changer

With rooftop solar forecast to grow by at least 10,000 megawatts in the next two decades across the National Electricity Market (that is roughly equivalent to 20% of all existing generating capacity), Energy Live dives into how the growth of solar is now a real disrupter - not just for AEMO, but system operators worldwide.

A case for change - AEMO’s observations explained

While power systems and energy markets around the world are gearing up to face the challenges of the future, for AEMO and the broader energy industry in Australia, these challenges are in the here and now. Particularly in the National Electricity Market (NEM) that covers our eastern and south-eastern states, the energy transition is well underway and delivering tangible impacts.

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.

Resisting the energy transition is like trying to resist the internet

AEMO Managing Director and CEO Audrey Zibelman recently spoke to Renew Economy’s Giles Parkinson and David Leitch about the similarities and differences between the United States and Australia, the National Energy Guarantee, AEMO’s Summer Readiness plan, South Australia’s 100 megawatt battery and her vision for the future.
