Forecast Minimum System Load 1 (MSL1) in the VIC Region on 26/10/2024
AEMO has detected that there is an elevated risk of insufficient demand to maintain a secure operating state in the Victorian region on 26/10/2024.
Minimum regional demand is forecast to be 1645 MW at 1300 hrs, and the advisory threshold is:
MSL1 - 1685 MW
MSL2 - 1185 MW
MSL3 - 685 MW
The regional demand is forecast to be below the MSL1 threshold for the following period:
From 1230 hrs to 1300 hrs 26/10/2024.
