The Melbourne Energy Institute is pleased to host the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) as they present the findings of their latest Quarterly Energy Dynamics report.

The latest report, which will be published in early February, covers market dynamics, trends and outcomes during Q4 2018 (1 October to 31 December).

Each report extracts key trends based on observable data and provides the market with an independent and unbiased analysis of the energy market. An objective source of information is critical for decision making, planning and policy across industry participants, investors and government.

At this seminar, AEMO will discuss key findings of the Q4 report including: sustained high prices in the wholesale electricity and gas markets, a steady fall in output from gas-powered generation, and a 66% increase of large-scale variable renewable energy.

AEMO’s Farhad Billimoria, Senior Markets Analyst, and Dr Jonathan Myrtle, Senior Energy Market Analyst, will outline the Q4 report.
