The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)'s Summer Readiness Overview discusses how the AEMO plans to match energy generation to demand over the summer.

“This year’s summer forecast is for hot and dry El Niño conditions, increasing the risk of bushfires and extreme heat, which could see electricity demand reach a 1-in-10-year high across the eastern states and in Western Australia. Said AEMO Executive General Manager Michael Gatt.

Powersensor knows energy usage and corresponding bills ordinarily increase nationally by 30%, so we provide you with ways to save money and the planet.

We do this by monitoring most single-phase sites (with or without solar) and any plugged appliance. To get you the energy insights you need while telling you exactly what energy you consume in real-time.

This helps you reduce your energy usage and gives you relief in knowing the bill you can expect.
