What happened on 7 November

On 7 November, 5 markets paid buyers to take power at some point: Victoria for 11 h 00 minD, Tasmania for 10 h 25 minD, South Australia for 9 h 00 minD, Queensland for 8 h 40 minD and New South Wales for 4 h 45 minD. The longest unbroken run was in Victoria, 4 h 50 minD from 11:20–16:10 AEDT; the lowest price there during the day was −A$44.23D/MWh. The run sat inside local daytime hours, when rooftop and utility solar in the NEM is producing. This site does not publish a generation mix for the NEM regions, so the solar and wind share in those intervals is not shown. Denmark DK2 spiked to DKK 2,473/MWhD (about 369D USD/MWh) in the hour from 17:00 CET, above our fixed threshold of 300 USD/MWh.

The highest renewable share among the metered grids was in Denmark: 49.8D % across the day, with wind at 34.9D % and solar at 14.8D %. Taiwan followed at 17.0D % renewable with wind 7.9D % and solar 7.6D %. Great Britain followed at 14.8D % renewable with wind 3.3D % (transmission-metered; solar on local networks is not in this data). Across the 7D markets with a full day of metered demand, 1,907,068D MWh was used, Great Britain the largest at 38.6D % of it.

Time below zero across all markets added up to 43 h 50 minD, more than the 36 h 20 minD on 6 November. Electricity used rose most in Tasmania (+1.7D %) and fell most in Denmark (−8.5D %). Denmark's renewable share rose by 8.9D points, from 40.9D %. Great Britain's renewable share fell by 5.3D points, from 20.1D %. The cheapest hour anywhere cost about −90D USD/MWh, against −217D on 6 November.

How to read this. The 7 November recap covers 15D markets (7D with a full day of demand) and was frozen at 00:30 UTC on 8 November; later operator revisions are not applied. A D badge marks a number we calculated from the operators' metered data, an M badge one published as is. Durations add up priced intervals below zero, clock times are each market's local time, and shares are energy-weighted over the day. Definitions and limits are in the methodology.
