Voluntary book builds

Liable entities may wish (but are not obliged) to use the new voluntary book build mechanism under Chapter 4A. H of the NER to assist in finding contracts with providers of new or uncontracted capacity. AEMO is required to conduct a voluntary book build process after the AER or the South Australian Minister issues a ‘T-3 reliability instrument’ approximately three years before a reliability gap is forecast to arise and may conduct a further book build about a year later. 

Fees

The fees for accreditation in the Voluntary Book Build can be found in the Electricity Revenue Requirement and Fees documentation.
