Electricity security of supply snapshots
We have a weekly electricity security of supply snapshot to explain how well the electricity system is functioning to ensure your power stays on.
This week's snapshot
Interested in what's happening with our electricity system this week? Cold temperatures and high electricity demand drove significant hydro generation last week, causing hydro storage to fall below the historic average. There is currently enough energy (stored coal, water and gas) in the power system to get through winter.
All snapshots
Our weekly snapshots look at the security of electricity supply and include information on how much fuel is available to generate electricity, national hydro storage, forecast rainfall, infrastructure not available to generate electricity, spot prices and wholesale forward prices.
