Planned outage of Tailem Bend - South East 275 kV transmission line in the South Australia region beginning on 20/09/2024
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
The Tailem Bend - South East No 1 275 kV line in the South Australian (SA) region is planned to be out of service from 2100 hrs on 20/09/2024 to 0530 hrs on 21/09/2024.
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.

Fast Frequency Response Market - Removal of L1 FCAS dispatch cap from 9th September 2024
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Following review of the operation of the Very Fast FCAS market, from 1300 hrs AEST on Monday 9th September AEMO will remove the 225 MW cap on dispatch of Very Fast Lower (L1) Contingency FCAS.
The 225 MW cap on dispatch of L1 FCAS sits well above typical disaptch volumes, and no immediate impact is expected from this change.
No other changes to the dispatch of Very Fast FCAS or FCAS constraint equation changes will be made on this date.
