About Australian Electricity Markets
Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) covers Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia. This area accounts for around 90% of Australia’s electricity consumption. The NEM stretches over 5,000 km – from far north Queensland to Tasmania, and west to Adelaide and Port Augusta. With 40,000 kilometres of transmission lines, it is the longest alternating current (AC) system in the world.
Australian states: We provide Live Australian Electricity Generation Statistics for all six states and the two continental territories of the Commonwealth.
The Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) operates within the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) in Western Australia.
The SWIS consists of 96,000 km of power lines. It stretches from Albany in the south to Kalbarri in the north and Kalgoorlie in the east of Western Australia. Most noteworthy is that it incorporates the Perth metropolitan area.
There are two other main geographical areas making up the Western Australian electricity market. Frist of all is the North West Interconnected System (NWIS), and secondly, covering more remote areas is Regional Power (RP).
NWIS services the communities of Dampier, Wickham, Pannawonica, Paraburdoo, Tom Price, Port Hedland, South Hedland, Karratha, Roebourne and Point Samson.
Regional Power (RP) supplies electricity to more than 100,000 residents and 10,000 businesses across remote and regional Western Australia. It’s notable that the remoteness of the area means approximately 2.3 million square kilometres have to be serviced.
