RERT Tendering

Interim Reliability Reserves Invitation to Tender  2023/24

In the Electricity Statement of Opportunities (ESOO) published on 31 August 2023, AEMO has determined that the forecast reliability of supply in South Australia and Victoria exceeds the interim reliability measure of 0.0006% unserved energy.

AEMO is now seeking tenders for Interim Reliability Reserves in South Australia and Victoria.

The Interim Reliability Reserves mechanism (see clauses 3.20 and 11.128 of the National Electricity Rules) is intended to operate in a similar way to the long-notice RERT mechanism, but on a temporary basis. Reserve contracts for Interim Reliability Reserves may include testing requirements, availability payments, pre-activation payments and activation payments.

AEMO seeks Tenders from parties who have out of market load reduction or generation capacity. For example, this can be grid scale generation, large industrial load, a group of aggregated smaller loads or small onsite generators.

Interested parties should refer to and respond using the documents below. Please note the Operational Information Spreadsheet is for load reduction only as indicated in the Tender.

New providers are also requested to complete the New RERT Participants Registration Spreadsheet.

For any questions please contact AEMO via the RERT email address rert@aemo.com.au.

The Tender for the Interim Reliability Reserves - 2023/24 is open until 30 September 2023.
