Today the AER has commenced publishing its weekly Electricity Report in a new format. The report contains information on significant price variations, movements in the contracts market, together with analysis of spot market outcomes and rebidding behaviour. The new format includes a Weekly Spotlight section to highlight interesting events in the market for the week under review.
The revised report has more of an emphasis on tracking spot market outcomes over time. The report still provides detailed analysis where the spot price is greater than three times the average weekly price in a region and above $250/MWh or below -$100/MWh. Although the report in its new format does not include the detailed NEM Price and
Demand Trends from the previous format, all the key information is now captured either in the body of the revised Electricity Report or in the Performance of the Energy Sector section of the AER website.
In addition, the revised report is in a more accessible format, providing better access to information for all users.
Stakeholders who have comments on the report should not hesitate to contact us at AERInquiry
