Did you know there are more rooftop solar systems in Australia, than there are swimming pools in backyards?

Aussies have embraced rooftop solar like nowhere else on the planet, making households the largest generators of energy on the grid, but we have a long way to go to reach our enormous potential and so much to gain by doing so.

In this episode we chat to Violette Mouchaileh, AEMO's Executive General Manager of Reform Deliver, about how rooftop solar is assisting with Australia’s energy transition.

In this episode we dive into the insights from the Q3 Quarterly Energy Dynamics (QED) report with AEMO’s Manager of Market Insights, Kerry Galloway.

Kerry breaks down the key takeaways from the report, including the impact of weather on energy supply and demand, why the cooler July and warmer August/September caused fluctuations in wholesale energy prices, and a big win – at the end of Q3 2024, 45.6 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity were progressing through the connection process from application to commissioning.

AEMO CEO Daniel Westerman spoke at the Australian Financial Review’s 2024 Energy and Climate Summit.

In this special episode of AEMO On Air, we take a listen to Daniel’s speech, where he gives us a glimpse into what operating the energy system of the future could look like.

In the speech Daniel discusses the challenges of operating Australia's electricity grids in the not-too-distant future, when they no longer have coal in the energy mix. He addresses peak renewable contributions, including the National Electricity Market's record peak of 74% that was set this Spring. And he talks about the challenges that come with keeping our grids secure and stable, during periods when rooftop solar's contribution is high, and there is very low demand for power from the transmission network.
