Specification of service points, zones and segments
The specification of service points (receipt and delivery points), zones (groupings of service points) and pipeline segments (transportation paths between zones) underpin the operation of the Day-ahead Auction (DAA) and Capacity Trading Platform (CTP).
Facility operators are required to provide AEMO with, and keep up to date, a specification of all pipeline, compression, and park service points on each of the transportation facilities covered by the capacity trading reform package.
AEMO is responsible for:
- maintaining and publishing a register of each service point (physical or notional) at or between which transportation services are (or may be) provided by the facilities that will be subject to the reform package and each park service point;
- determining the allocation of service points to the zones that will be used for both the CTP and DAA;
- determining the backhaul service points between which backhaul auction services will be available in the DAA on single direction pipelines (or parts of pipelines); and
- determining the forward haul pipeline segments (i.e. the part of a pipeline between pipeline zones) and, where relevant, the backhaul pipeline segments that will be used in the DAA.
The specification of service points, zones and pipeline segments is recorded in the Transportation Service Point Register (TSPR).
