Update - Possible intervention to manage power system security in SA region

Refer AEMO Electricity Market Notice 116054

The synchronous generating units currently expected to be synchronised in SA from 1030 hrs 10/04/2024 will be inadequate to maintain a secure operating state in SA .

AEMO estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 1600 hrs 09/04/2024, 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.

The MTPASA result published on 9 April 2024 identifies Low Reserve Conditions as annual unserved energy exceeds the Reliability Standard between:
-- April 2025 - April 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:
-- November 2025 - March 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.

For further information, please refer to:

This notice supersedes Market Notice 115924 published on 2 April 2024.

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
