Matters under consultation
AEMO is consulting with industry on proposed changes to the SO_OP_3705 Dispatch Procedure to implement the relevant aggregated dispatch conformance arrangements (ADC) in accordance with clause 11.145.16 of the National Electricity Rules (NER), under the National Electricity Amendment (Integrated energy storage systems into the NEM) Rule 2021 No. 13 (IESS Rule).
In summary, the changes are to set out:
-
permitted forms of ADC by one or more scheduled resources comprised in an aggregate generating system;
-
arrangements for AEMO to specify when resource level compliance is required; and
-
consequential changes to dispatch instructions and AEMO’s dispatch conformance monitoring and reporting processes to accommodate these arrangements.

AEMO invites stakeholders to:
-
provide feedback and comments on this Information Paper, as well as the accompanying change-marked version of the Procedure; and
