Grid recap · Monday 9 November 2026 (UTC day)

What happened on 9 November

On 9 November, 5 markets paid buyers to take power at some point: Queensland for 5 h 40 minD, South Australia for 4 h 45 minD, New South Wales for 3 h 10 minD, Victoria for 2 h 55 minD and Tasmania for 2 h 10 minD. The longest unbroken run was in South Australia, 2 h 20 minD from 14:45–17:05 ACDT; the lowest price there during the day was −A$99.68D/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 4,820/MWhD (about 722D USD/MWh) in the hour from 17:00 CET, above our fixed threshold of 300 USD/MWh.

Of the grids where we meter the generation mix, Denmark ran on the highest renewable share, 39.9D % over the day, with wind at 33.0D % and solar at 6.8D %. Taiwan followed at 22.3D % renewable with wind 15.3D % and solar 5.4D %. Great Britain followed at 13.4D % renewable with wind 2.2D % (transmission-metered; solar on local networks is not in this data). Taiwan wind reached 4.5 GWD, highest since we started (23 Oct 2026). The 8D markets with complete demand data used 2,064,927D MWh between them, led by Great Britain with 39.4D %.

Time below zero across all markets added up to 18 h 40 minD, less than the 37 h 25 minD on 8 November. The biggest day-on-day moves in electricity used were Great Britain at +11.6D % and Tasmania at −6.0D %. Denmark's renewable share fell by 8.9D points, from 48.8D %. The cheapest hour anywhere cost about −6D USD/MWh, against −220D on 8 November.

How to read this. The 9 November recap covers 15D markets (8D with a full day of demand) and was frozen at 00:30 UTC on 10 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.
