The COVID19 pandemic sent both Australia and New Zealand into an unprecedented lockdown earlier this year.
While Australia pursued a suppression strategy, New Zealand targeted elimination, resulting in physical distancing restrictions varying in reach and duration.
This, and the two nations’ differences in demand composition and supply mix, provide a fascinating comparison of the pandemic’s impact on either side of the ditch.
Speakers from Australia’s AEMO and New Zealand’s Transpower will present on how the pandemic has impacted each nation’s power system in relation to demand, supply, system operations, and emissions.
There will also be time for Q&A following the presentations.
