A little history: EWN Publishing, first published Electricity Week in 1986. It published it each week, since then. In 1998 - with the start of the National Electricity Market (NEM) - EWN also produced internet-access data, from NEMMCO sources, and called it "erisk.net".
81 series of data for five regions update each 30 min:  Those erisk.net data services now contain a ten year data history, and you can use them to create time saving spreadsheets, charts and data; and to analyse market conditions, histories and forecasts for the physical pool for Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia. You can also look at the behaviour of any unit on any day or period up to 2 years.
