Recording available: MEInetwork22 Seminar #2: Gas markets and gas retailing

ABOUT

This seminar is presented by Mr Matthew Clemow, Group Manager for Gas Operations at the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), and moderated by Dr Adrian Panow, Director of Major Projects at the Melbourne Energy Institute. It is the second instalment of the MEInetwork22 Seminar Series, with a focus on the gas supply chain.

The presentation provides an overview of AEMO’s role and functions within Australia’s energy market regulatory framework, including how the gas markets balance supply and demand. There are different gas market designs and supply mechanisms to meet the supply objectives of that market. AEMO’s largest gas market is in Victoria, where AEMO has the unique role of operating both the Victorian gas transmission system and the wholesale gas market. This includes market mechanisms and operational responses to ensure that the integrity of the gas system is maintained when demand outstrips supply, as well as AEMO’s wholesale gas metering role to support accurate market settlements.

The seminar was hosted as a hybrid event, simultaneously delivered in person and streamed online.

Date: Tuesday 7 June 2022
Presentation: 1:00 - 2:00 pm AEST
Networking:  2:00 -  2:30 pm AEST
Venue: Alan Gilbert Building, Ground Floor, Room G18, 161 Barry Street, Carlton, VIC 3053 (and online).

MEInetwork22

To transform our energy system, we first need to understand how it works. The MEInetwork Seminar Series aims to give participants a sound understanding of the current technical and economic factors that underpin the Australian energy system. Knowledge of these market factors is critical in determining the changes required to move towards a clean energy system.

Each year, the Seminar Series takes a deep dive into the complete supply and value chain of one of our primary energy vectors. In 2022, the MEInetwork22 Seminar Series will be comprised of seven seminars covering the gas supply chain, including discussion of the prospects of hydrogen displacing natural gas.
