"Remarkable:" Record day of #wind and #solar curtailment as renewables surge and rooftop PV holds sway https://www.linkedin.com/posts/geoff-eldridge-nemlog_nem-curtailment-energytransition-activity-7373123763799982080-JEV_/
www.linkedin.com#nem #curtailment #energytransition #renewables #storage | Geoff EldridgeRecord Day in the NEM – Renewables Surge, Curtailment Grows
The NEM saw a remarkable day of records on Sun 14 Sep 2025. High renewable availability and significant curtailment underlined both the opportunity and the challenge of the transition.
The Days New Highs
Curtailment
- Curtailment (NEM) – 10,210 MW, up 1,546 MW (+17.9%) from 8,663 MW (Sun 01 Sep 2024), after 378 days.
- Curtailment Share (NEM) – 39.0%, up 3.88% (+11%) from 35.1% (Sat 16 Sep 2023), after 729 days.
- Curtailment as Share of Total Demand (NEM) – 107%, up 25.2% (+30.9%) from 81.5% (Sun 06 Oct 2024), after 343 days.
- Curtailment Wind (NEM) – 5,004 MW, up 289 MW (+6.1%) from 4,714 MW (Sun 07 Sep 2025), after 7 days.
- Curtailment Wind (Vic) – 3,535 MW, up 292 MW (+9.0%) from 3,243 MW (Sat 15 Feb 2025), after 211 days.
- Curtailment RE (SA) – 4,632 MW, up 299 MW (+6.9%) from 4,334 MW (Wed 23 Oct 2024), after 326 days.
- Curtailment RE (Vic) – 8,424 MW, up 326 MW (+4.0%) from 8,098 MW (Mon 27 Jan 2025), after 230 days.
- Curtailment RE Share (Vic) – 80.7%, up 6.52% (+8.8%) from 74.2% (Fri 26 Jan 2024), after 597 days.
Renewable Availability (RE & UIGF)
- RE + RE Curtailment (NEM) – 29,909 MW, up 609 MW (+2.1%) from 29,300 MW (Mon 23 Dec 2024), after 265 days.
- RE + RE Curtailment Share (NEM) – 114%, up 6.3% (+5.9%) from 108% (Sun 06 Oct 2024), after 343 days.
- RE + RE Curtailment Share (Vic) – 156%, up 10.6% (+7.3%) from 145% (Sat 16 Sep 2023), after 729 days.
- UIGF (Vic) – 5,066 MW, up 96 MW (+1.9%) from 4,970 MW (Sat 30 Aug 2025), after 15 days.
- UIGF (SA) – 2,846 MW, up 91 MW (+3.3%) from 2,755 MW (Sun 13 Jul 2025), after 63 days.
Demand
Total Demand (NEM, Min) – 9,555 MW, down 162 MW (-1.7%) from 9,716 MW (Sat 26 Oct 2024), after 323 days.
Observations
- Curtailment dominance: Multiple records fell today, both in MW and as shares of demand. Curtailment at 107% of total demand shows how far availability exceeds system absorption.
- Wind and solar abundance: High UIGF and RE + RE Curtailment totals illustrate growing renewable capacity feeding the grid.
- Demand under pressure: Network Demand minimum was pushed lower, consistent with rooftop PV & efficiency reshaping demand curves.
Insights
- Curtailment is structural: Scale and frequency of new records show this is no outlier but a recurring NEM feature.
- Availability above demand: RE + RE Curtailment exceeded Native Demand from 09:15 to 15:10 hrs, showing just how sustained the surplus was across the day.
Considerations
- Flexibility gap: Storage, EVs, and dynamic tariffs all help capture surplus renewables.
- Big question: Which lever — batteries, transmission, demand-shifting, or reform — most reduces next spring’s curtailment?
These records highlight not just how far renewables have come, but how much further system flexibility and integration must go.
