Electricity demand in SEQ

The network demand meter, shown in the top right corner of this website, shows the current demand for electricity in South East Queensland.

The meter is updated every 30 minutes with the latest reading of electricity demand on our network.

Current demand reading: Loading value...(MW)

Record summer peak: 4670 (MW) Summer 09/10

Record winter peak: 4343 (MW) Winter 08/09

It is important to keep the network demand from reaching extreme levels, otherwise known as peak demand.

While ENERGEX’s infrastructure is designed to cope with these peaks, and we can continue to upgrade the system to manage growing demand, this is not the most sustainable approach to managing the network.

Our aim is to reduce peak demand.

By monitoring energy usage levels and taking it easy on our usage we can all help to reduce the peak.
