The Australian Energy Market Operator has taken the unprecedented step of closing down the spot electricity market and seizing control to deal with the national energy crisis.The maintenance of a string of coal-fired power stations has put pressure on the energy grid.Just after 2pm, AEMO issued a notification saying it had suspended the spot market in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania.
It can then use generators at will to meet power demand. Generators have to make capacity available at all times.Generators will get paid prices to be set by AEMO in each region, which will be different in each area but will be not far from the controlled price of $300/MWh that has been in place for the past two days.
He warned there would the energy supply situation would still be “tight” this week, especially in NSW - calling on consumers to conserve as much energy as possible. “This decision will help prevent energy companies from putting energy reliability at risk by unnecessarily withdrawing supply,” Mr Kean said.Mr de Brenni said AEMO’s decision would further reduce the risk of supply shortfalls and unplanned outages.“I can assure Queenslanders there is surplus supply to meet demands in our state and a further generating unit is scheduled to return to service later this week.
“For me, it seems Chris Bowen doesn’t know where to turn. This is a problem of Chris Bowen’s making and he needs to fix it,” he said. “Once the market has been allowed to reset [via suspension], the generators with costs above $300/MWh would be able to recover their costs.” AEMO estimated that about 2000MW of generation was available in each of Queensland and NSW that was not bid into the market on Tuesday.
Some energy experts, such as Grattan Institute’s energy program director Tony Wood, said this week’s events showed the market was “broken”.
When AMEO intervenes, AlboMP who compensates the spot market for the price difference the Government or the consumer?
Why would they when the price is capped and they would make a loss
Yeah, they can carry the cost of a failed 'green washing' of our energy supplies
How has Australia become a 3rd world country where citizens can no longer turn on the switch to get basic services like electricity or gas. Government must take back OUR resources from foreign owned profit driven multinationals WHO PAY NO TAX. 🤬 Australians be mad as hell.
