Users urged to adjust energy spend
BUSINESSS, households, and NSW Government agencies are urged to limit non-essential electricity usage during the afternoon and evening due to anticipated high temperatures. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) expects increased demand, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees in parts of NSW. AEMO activated measures to ensure reliable power supply, but reserves may be strained. The NSW Government is implementing the Energy Action Response protocol, reducing agency electricity use. Citizens are encouraged to lower energy consumption between 5pm and 9pm. Simple steps include adjusting air conditioning, minimizing appliance use, and, if safe, temporarily turning off pool pumps.
