The NEM coordinates the supply and demand of electricity every five-minutes through a dispatch process that produces a ‘spot’ price. This price reflects the real-time need for energy and will increase when demand becomes higher relative to the available supply. The market is signalling for more supply to be brought online when this price spikes. These situations can happen during very hot or cold weather events, planned or unplanned generation outages, or when there are other transmission issues.  

Wholesale Demand Response allows qualifying resources to offer their energy capacity into the NEM as a new source of power supply during these critical times. This helps AEMO to enhance the reliability of the system, while allowing VPP participants to earn the spot power price when they are called on.

VPP participants receive regular payments for when their power is provided to support the grid during a dispatch event. This reliable new revenue stream can offset electricity costs, or be reinvested into other sustainability initiatives.
