    Q1 2026 QED: batteries, data centres and a system in transition

    Batteries are now playing a central role in Australia’s electricity system, and the latest data shows just how quickly that shift is happening.In this episode of AEMO On Air, Kerry Galloway, AEMO’s Manager of Market Insights unpacks the key details of the Q1 2026 Quarterly Energy Dynamics (QED) report.In the National Electricity Market (NEM), more than 4,400 MW of new battery capacity has been added in the past year, which has helped shift three times the volume of renewable energy from daytime into the evening peak, competing against coal and gas. Batteries set prices for around a third of the times and contributed to a 12% year-on-year drop in wholesale electricity prices.The episode also explores the quarter’s record renewable output, with renewables supplying 46.5% of NEM generation, while emerging demand continues to build with 11 large-scale data centre projects (5.4 GW) progressing through connections.Explore the full QED for more insights: https://bit.ly/4umi74KInterviewer: Catie LowLinkedIn | X | Facebook

    Global issues, local lessons: AEMO’s role as a system operator on the world stage

    The energy transition is global and so are the challenges.Across the world, system operators are grappling with the same fundamental shifts, rapid growth in renewables, decentralised generation and increasingly complex system dynamics.In our latest AEMO On Air episode, we’re joined by Luke Robinson, Group Manager – System Modelling to explore how global collaboration is helping system operators navigate one of the most complex transformations in modern energy systems.As a founding member of the International System Operators Network (ISON), AEMO is working alongside peers across the US and Europe to tackle shared challenges, from integrating high levels of inverter-based resources to AI and data centres and rethinking the control room of the future.And while we are helping solve global issues, the world is watching Australia and what we are doing, particularly our leadership in rooftop solar and consumer energy resources.Find out more about ISON and AEMO here: www.aemo.com.au/initiatives/major-programs/international-system-operator-collaborationRead more about ISON: www.isonetwork.org/Interviewer: Catie LowLinkedIn | X | Facebook

    Short-Term Relief, Long-Term Risk: Inside the 2026 GSOO

    AEMO has released our 2026 Gas Statement of Opportunities (GSOO) – an annual outlook examining gas demand and supply across Australia’s east coast over the next 20-plus years.In this episode of AEMO On Air, we chat with Alice McLaren, AEMO’s Manager of Market Operability in System Design, to break down what the latest analysis means for industry, governments and consumers.As Alice explains: “We’re seeing an improvement in our forecast compared to last year… but longer term, those risks remain and point to the need for new investment in supply, storage and infrastructure…. We still see gas as having a critical role to play… particularly as a backup where renewable generation is less available.”Key takeaways:Near-term outlook improvingThe 2026 GSOO shows a more positive short-term outlook for southern states, driven by new infrastructure commitments, increased peak supply expectations, and reduced gas demand from electrification and changes in consumption. Longer-term risks remainFrom around 2030, the report identifies increasing risks of supply gaps across most weather scenarios – reinforcing the need for timely investment in new gas supply, storage and pipelines.Declining southern production is a key driverA major factor is the continued decline of legacy gas fields, particularly in Victoria, with significant implications for how the southern market is supplied in future.Read the GSOO here: https://bit.ly/3PyFSYeVGPR: https://bit.ly/4v6VEdkGSOO explainer: https://bit.ly/4bCPZnGMedia release: https://bit.ly/4uRpO3TInterviewer: Catie LowLinkedIn | X | Facebook

    The 50% Moment: How Renewables and Storage shaped the 4th quarter of 2025

    Season 3 of AEMO On Air is underway  🎙️ In the first episode for 2026, we speak with Kerry Galloway, AEMO’s Manager of Market Insights, about a milestone quarter for Australia’s energy transition following the launch of AEMO’s Q4 2025 Quarterly Energy Dynamics (QED) report.For the first time ever, renewables and storage supplied more than half of total energy needs across the east and west coast grids in Q4, with WA’s WEM reaching an extraordinary 91% renewable supply at peak. Strong renewable output contributed to lower wholesale prices — while remaining just one of several factors that shape the market.The episode also explores the continued surge in investment, from grid-scale solar and batteries to rooftop systems on Australian homes. Battery discharge nearly tripled year-on-year in the NEM and jumped around 200% in the WEM, while rooftop solar growth is increasingly influencing daytime demand and minimum operational demand.Combined with milder conditions than Q4 2024, the quarter highlights sustained momentum and real change in the energy mix.🗎 Explore the full QED for more insights: https://bit.ly/3LRXQUfInterviewer: Catie LowLinkedIn | X | Facebook

    Setting course for 2050: A deep dive into the Draft 2026 Integrated System Plan

    Australia’s electricity system is transforming at speed and the choices made, specifically in the coming decade, will shape costs, reliability and emissions outcomes for generations. In this episode of AEMO On Air, we sat down with Nicola Falcon, AEMO’s Executive General Manager of System Design, to unpack the Draft 2026 Integrated System Plan (ISP) and the big themes shaping this story. With electricity demand forecast to nearly double by 2050, driven by electrification of homes, industry and transport, plus rapid growth in data centres, the draft ISP lays out a clear, least-cost roadmap to replace retiring coal while keeping the lights on.  We dig into why renewables, firmed by storage, backed up by gas and connected with networks remains the least-cost and reliable pathway, and how today’s investments in rooftop solar, batteries, large-scale renewables and networks are already lining up with that plan. And Nicola explores what’s changed since the last ISP, including technology costs, along with deeper analysis on gas supply infrastructure and distribution network cost to support further consumer energy resource benefits.

    Pedalling through change: System Security in a solar-driven grid

    One in three Australian homes now have rooftop solar, that’s more than 4 million systems nationwide providing, on some days, over half of the east coast’s electricity.  Australia is leading the world in distributed energy, with home batteries and electric vehicles rapidly changing how our power system operates. But as solar becomes a dominant force in the grid, maintaining stability and security presents new challenges.  In episode two of AEMO On Air’s System Security series, Nij sits down with Jonathon Dore, AEMO’s Manager – DER Technical Integration, to explore how AEMO is working with industry and transition partners to maintain system security through the renewable transition and the critical challenges of managing high Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Consumer Energy Resources (CER) penetration  Jonathon explained system security using a simple analogy of something he loves: Maintaining system security is like riding a mountain bike on a trail. On the smooth sections, keeping the bike stable is almost effortless, but on the challenging sections, you need different skills and a different approach.  Catch up on episode one in this series here: https://bit.ly/43tbEtTInterviewer: Dr Niraj (Nij) Lal LinkedIn | X | Facebook
