A credible contingency event during this planned outage could cause synchronous separation of the SA region from the rest of the NEM.

During this planned outage:
- Power transfer will be restricted across the VIC - SA interconnector (Heywood interconnector); and
- Post contingent FCAS will be sourced within SA following Separation event.

Refer AEMO Network Outage Schedule (NOS) for further details.
