Update - Possible intervention to manage power system security in SA region
Update - Possible intervention to manage power system security in SA region
Refer AEMO Electricity Market Notice 117061
The synchronous generating units currently expected to be synchronised in SA from 0100 hrs 20/06/2024 will be inadequate to maintain a secure operating state in SA .
AEMO estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 1600 hrs 19/06/2024, AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more SA synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in SA.

Planned outage of the Rowville - South Morang 500 kV line in the VIC region on 20/06/2024.
The Rowville - South Morang 500 kV line in the Victoria (VIC) region is planned to be out of service from 1400 hrs to 1630 hrs on 20/06/2024.
A credible contingency event during this planned outage could cause:
- A large reduction in generation in VIC; and/ or
- Restrict power transfer across the VIC - South Australia (SA) interconnector (Heywood interconnector).
Refer AEMO Network Outage Schedule (NOS) for further details.

Cancellation of a Non-Credible Contingency Event: Tumoulin - Woree No.877 275 kV line and Chalumbin - Turkinje No.7166 132 kV line in QLD1 due to Lightning.
Cancellation of reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event as a Credible Contingency Event due to Lightning. AEMO considers the simultaneous trip of the following circuits is no longer reasonably possible. There is no longer any lightning activity in the vicinity of the following lines. Accordingly its classification has reverted to a non-credible contingency event.
Region: QLD1
Lines: Tumoulin - Woree No.877 275 kV and Chalumbin - Turkinje No.7166 132 kV

Possible intervention to manage power system security in SA Region
Possible intervention to manage power system security in SA Region
The synchronous generating units currently expected to be synchronised in SA from 0100 hrs 20/06/2024 will be inadequate to maintain sufficient system strength in SA and hence a secure operating state.
AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more SA synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in SA.

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.
