Minimum System Load 1 (MSL1) in the VIC Region on 28/09/2024
AEMO has detected that there is an elevated risk of insufficient demand to maintain a secure operating state in the Victorian region from 1100 hrs to 1400 hrs 28/09/2024.
Minimum regional demand is forecast to be 1638 MW at 1300 hrs, and the advisory threshold is:
- MSL1 - 1865 MW
- MSL2 - 1365 MW
- MSL3 - 865 MW
MSL events are forecast when forecast regional demand is less than the relevant MSL threshold. The forecast regional demand is below the MSL1 threshold.
Refer to NEM Data Dashboard to monitor demand levels: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem
AEMO is seeking a market response.
An insufficient market response may require AEMO to take action or intervene to maintain power system security in Victoria. This may result in actions such as recalling network outages, the direction of scheduled production units, curtailment of non-scheduled production units, and/or a direction to maintain regional demand above required MSL threshold, in both Victoria and South Australia.

Update to system normal constraint equation in NSW for transient voltage stability in south-west NSW
Refer to market notice 92840.
Transgrid has advised AEMO of an update to the transient voltage stability limit in south-west NSW for loss of Darlington Point to Wagga (63) 330 kV line. The limit will include terms for the Darlington Point and Riverina BESS.
The following constraint equation will be updated with the above changes at 1100 hrs Friday 20th September 2024.
N::N_NIL_63
For full details on the formulation, the new constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.
