The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) revealed yesterday (12 August) that mild winter temperatures and sunny skies across the country resulted in new winter lows for electricity demand in Victoria and South Australia, at 2,810MW and 264MW, respectively, on 11 August.
The lows witnessed on the National Electricity Market (NEM), which covers Australia’s south and eastern coasts, saw solar PV contribute higher quantities to the electricity mix. For Victoria, rooftop solar PV contributed 37.9% of the electricity mix at 13:00pm AEST. In South Australia, at 14:00pm AEST, rooftop solar PV provided around 56.7% of the state’s demand.
