Refer AEMO Electricity Market Notice 125548
At 09:29 hrs the Burnie - Smithton Tee Port Latta No. 1 110kV Line and the Burnie - Smithton Tee Port Latta No. 2 110kV Line tripped and auto-reclosed (2nd event).
The cause of this non credible contingency event is not known at this stage.
AEMO is not satisfied that this non credible event is unlikely to re-occur.
AEMO has therefore reclassified this event as a credible contingency event until further notice.
