Procedure Change Proposal

Wholesale Electricity Market Rules – Clause 2.10

Date of Notice: 23 September 2024

Matter under Consultation

AEMO initiated this Procedure Change Proposal to amend the WEM Procedure GPS Compliance Tests and Generator Monitoring Plans to:

• update Market Information provisions to be consistent with the amended Chapter 10 provisions that commenced on 1 October 2023.
• update date references from Business Days to calendar days (days) to ensure consistency with the WEM Procedure: Commissioning Tests.
• require that a separate Generator Monitoring Plan Template be submitted for each Registered Facility that contains a Generating System with Registered Generator Performance Standards, to cover prospective rule changes that may provide for registration of multiple Separate Facilities behind a connection point.
• incorporate minor amendments to improve readability and clarity, including the addition of an explanatory process flow chart, and to fix minor errors.

AEMO sought comment and feedback on:

• whether the proposed changes to the Procedure effectively implement AEMO’s intended outcomes and give effect to the Amending Rules.
• whether stakeholders believe there are any other relevant issues that have not been considered.
