Readiness Work Stream

Market Readiness

Market readiness refers to the successful implementation of all of the necessary activities by AEMO and NEM participants that were required for a seamless transition to the new procedural arrangements and B2B communications that started on 1 December 2017.

Market Readiness Strategy

A key document for AEMO to engage with NEM participants on market readiness matters was the Market Readiness Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy was to set out a plan for managing, coordinating, informing, monitoring and reporting on AEMO’s and NEM participants’ operational preparedness, particularly in relation to revised business systems and processes, for a seamless transition to new procedural arrangements starting on 1 December 2017. The Strategy was developed by AEMO in collaboration with the POC Readiness Working Group.

Supporting Plans

The Market Readiness Strategy was supported by a series of supporting plans. These supporting plans were developed by AEMO in collaboration with the POC Readiness Working Group over 2016-17, and include plans for industry readiness reporting, industry testing, accreditation and registration, and industry transition and cutover. These finalised plans are published below.
