Context
Longest negative price streak in NEM South Australia: an unbroken run of 27 consecutive 5-minute intervals with a price below zero, starting at 2026-10-23 23:00 UTC and lasting 2:15 h (h:mm). This is the longest such run since we started tracking this market on 2026-10-23.
No earlier tracked value of this kind exists in our data window, so this entry is a baseline that later readings can beat. Baseline entries are not marked notable and are not offered to search engines.
Conditions in the data at the same time: NEM-SA1 demand 680.8 MW (reading at 23:00 UTC). These are the readings nearest to the tracked interval in the same database, shown for context only; they do not explain the value on their own.
First seen in a batch fetched at 2026-10-24 16:43 UTC (payload backfill:7). It was checked after a second batch fetched at 2026-10-24 17:00 UTC (payload 4631ae34be): a later batch arrived, this feed does not republish old intervals, and the stored point stayed unrevised, unflagged and within 2%.
These values are built from provisional operator data that can be revised, so each one is checked against later batches before it is marked Tracking and can be withdrawn if the source changes it. Readings outside market bounds, with a wrong unit, flagged by a quality gate or showing a price jump without a matching load change are rejected and never listed.
