[EventId:204] AP STARTED for ENERGY in SA1 at 09 March 2025 17:55
Issued by Australian Energy Market Operator Ltd at 1755 hrs on 09 March 2025
ADMINISTERED PRICE PERIOD DECLARED in SA1 region.
AEMO has determined that the rolling sum of the uncapped spot prices for the SA1 region over the previous 2016 trading intervals has exceeded the cumulative price threshold (CPT) of $1,573,700.00.
In accordance with Clause 3.14.2(b) of the National Electricity Rules, AEMO has determined that an administered price period will commence at the trading interval starting 1805 hrs on 09 March 2025 and will continue through to the end of that trading day.
An administered price cap (APC) of 600 $/MWh will apply to all trading intervals during this administered price period. This APC will apply to spot prices and to all market ancillary service prices in the SA1 region.
An administered floor price (AFP) of -600 $/MWh will apply to spot prices.
AEMO will continue to monitor the rolling sum of the uncapped spot prices and issue further Market Notices as required.

Yass to Wagga control scheme change - removal system normal constraint equations in NSW managing 990, 991 and 970 132kV lines
Transgrid has advised AEMO of an update to the Yass overload trip scheme. The scheme is normally armed managing line flow on 990, 991, 970 132kV lines and it is now operating both directions of flow from Wagga to Yass.
Based on this advice, the following constraint equations will be removed from the NSW system normal constraint sets N-NIL and N-NIL_991, effective immediately.
N>>NIL_970_051
N>>NIL_990_051
N>>NIL_991_051

Update to system strength requirements in North Queensland
Refer to market notice 121468
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
The system normal equations have been revised to remove Gladstone >=1 requirement.
A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1200 hrs on Tuesday 4th February 2025.
The new combinations have now published in a limits advice document on AEMO's website. For more information refer to the new limits advice: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
This advice contains all the combinations for Queensland for system normal cases. Additional information has been included in the limit advice to clarify the requirement to disconnect all inverters/turbines under certain system conditions.
The constraint equation in the Q-NIL set of the form below will be modified:
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_xxxx
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_xxxx_I

Update to system strength requirements in North Queensland
Refer to market notice 106175
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
Due to commissioning of Clarke Creek wind farm in Far North Queensland, the system normal equations have been revised.
A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1100 hrs on Monday 9th December 2024.
The new combinations have now published in a limits advice document on AEMO's website. For more information refer to the new limits advice: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
This advice contains all the combinations for Queensland for system normal cases. Additional information has been included in the limit advice to clarify the requirement to disconnect all inverters/turbines under certain system conditions.
The constraint equation in the Q-NIL set of the form below will be modified:
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_KBWF
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF
Two new equations have been added:
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_CKWF
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_CKWF_I

Managing outages that create a credible risk of SA islanding
From 9th Oct 2024 AEMO will change constraints used during outages that create a credible risk of SA islanding.
From this date AEMO will:
1) Increase the maximum allowable flow on the V-SA interconnector from 50 MW to 250 MW in the VIC to SA direction, where the transmission outages is a planned outage.
2) Operate the SA region to the default 49-51 Hz target frequency containment band following a contingency event resulting in actual SA islanding. In order to meet this requirement, AEMO may now procure Contingency Raise FCAS locally from the SA region during these outages.
These changes reflect updated advice received by AEMO from the SA Jurisdictional System Security Coordinator.
The first network outage affected by this change is planned for 14th October 2024.

Update to system normal constraint equation in NSW for transient voltage stability in south-west NSW
Refer to market notice 92840.
Transgrid has advised AEMO of an update to the transient voltage stability limit in south-west NSW for loss of Darlington Point to Wagga (63) 330 kV line. The limit will include terms for the Darlington Point and Riverina BESS.
The following constraint equation will be updated with the above changes at 1100 hrs Friday 20th September 2024.
N::N_NIL_63
For full details on the formulation, the new constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.
