Overview

A granular 30-minute price forecast for all NEM ancillary service markets (all 10 FCAS markets) over a 20-year horizon.

The NEM FCAS market curve is co-optimised with our NEM Benchmark power curve to ensure dispatch and pricing outcomes are aligned with actual energy market portfolios and strategies. Our innovative forecasting model utilises a statistical bid-based approach at the generating unit level across all markets and technology types. The report accompanying the modelled pricing includes a review and analysis of pricing drivers, changes in enabled capacity, and policy and regulatory shifts (including new markets).
