086 - NEM generation by fuel type
Some recent news - the Australian Government Department of Energy recently released the 'National Greenhouse Gas Inventory' - a big, all-encompassing update of exactly how much Australia is emitting into the Earth's atmosphere through the operation of our economy. There'a whole stack of data in the December 2016 update.
The chart below shows changes in electricity generation in the national electricity market. Though coal is going up, variable renewables and hydro are catching up with gas and coal. Compare 2012 to 2016 - that's a fair bit of change for four years, though there's still a long way to go.

95 - Total bill - actuals vs forecast
As part of a recent blog post, I gathered up a bunch of data from the Australian Energy Markets Commission's analysis of Australian electricity bills. These charts are an expansion of that analysis.
The chart below shows what the forecasted value for the total bill cost, in cents per kilowatt hour was in the two years leading up to a year, alongside what the actual value for that year was.

085 - NEM demand history
Some recent news - the Australian Government Department of Energy recently released the 'National Greenhouse Gas Inventory' - a big, all-encompassing update of exactly how much Australia is emitting into the Earth's atmosphere through the operation of our economy. There'a whole stack of data in the December 2016 update.
This chart answers the question - is demand going up or down? Of course, the answer is 'sort of both' - it's been relatively steady since 2015.

There'a whole stack of data in the December 2016 update.
The chart below shows total change in emissions, by sector. Most interesting is electricity, which saw a period of decrease but has, in the past few years, started climbing back up again.

073 - Clean energy target support by hypothetical price impact
Another fascinating poll from Essential - getting an idea of support for a clean energy target policy, and how that changes depending on price impact.
The original Finkel modelling found the price impact would be negative - ie, the policy would result in lower prices, which wasn't modelled by the pollsters below - a bit of a shame, to be honest.
