AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

Update - Direction - SA Region - 27/12/2023

Refer Market Notice 112823

The AEMO intervention event that commenced from interval ending 1505 hrs on 27/12/2023 is continuing.

AEMO may issue or revoke additional directions in order to meet the current requirement, unless sufficient market response is provided. A further market notice will be issued when all directions related to this requirement have been cancelled.

Manager NEM Real Time Operations

The MTPASA result published on 2 January 2024 identifies Low Reserve Conditions as annual unserved energy exceeds the Reliability Standard between:
-- January 2025 - January 2026 in New South Wales.

AEMO declares low reserve conditions in accordance with clause 4.8.4 of the National Electricity Rules for the following region(s) and periods:
-- January 2025 - February 2025
-- August 2025 - January 2026
in New South Wales when forecast demand exceeds supply under some circumstances.

Please note that MTPASA informs the market of potential reliability issues to allow the market to respond in the first instance, potentially avoiding the need for any AEMO intervention.

This notice supersedes Market Notice 112724 published on 26 December 2023.

Background
As part of a broader process of implementing the reliability standard, AEMO runs the Medium Term Projected Assessment of System Adequacy (MTPASA) process weekly to forecast expected unserved energy levels over a two year period. If the expected annual unserved energy exceeds the maximum level specified by the Reliability Standard, a Low Reserve Condition is identified.

For more information about how AEMO implements the reliability standard, please view the Reliability Standard Implementation Guidelines (RSIG) available on AEMO's website at https://www.aemo.com.au/Electricity/National

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

Issued by Australian Energy Market Operator Ltd at 1040 hrs on 1 January 2024

ACTUAL NEGATIVE SETTLEMENT RESIDUES - NSW to VIC - 1 January 2024.

Electricity Market outcomes have resulted in the accumulation of negative settlement residues that have exceeded the allowable negative residue threshold for the NSW to VIC directional interconnector.

The negative residue constraint set NRM_NSW1_VIC1 commenced operating from 1040 hrs on 1 January 2024.

This constraint set contains an equation with the following interconnectors on the LHS:
VIC1-NSW1

The RHS of the constraint equation may be adjusted to manage residues.
