After a prolonged period of light winds, a surge of powerful winds and cool air will push through southeastern Australia during the next 48 hours.
As we wrote about last week the National Electricity Market (NEM) saw very low wind power generation during the seven days leading up to Thursday, April 18, with the daily wind generation having been under 41 GWh/day for this period.
Wind power has improved slightly during the past week, with wind power increasing for a few days over last weekend.
