Outage Management Data Conversion Process

Overview

AEMO transferred and converted, as applicable, data and other information relating to or in connection with Outages under the Pre-Amended Rules to the relevant systems under the Post-Amended Rules ("Outage Data Conversion") that AEMO determined was necessary or desirable to [WEM Rule 1.57.10]:

• Enable AEMO to perform its functions in respect of Outages under Chapter 3 of the Post-Amended Rules;
• Enable a Market Participant to comply with its obligations in respect of Outages under Chapter 3 of the Post Amended Rules; and
• Enable a Network Operator to comply with its obligations in respect of Outages under Chapter 3 of the Post-Amended Rules.

Data conversion for Market Participant and Network Operator Outages for the Production Environment occured on the 15th of September 2023 at 8AM and 1st of October 2023 at 8AM respectively. Outages submitted in the old SM MPI, spanning over the New WEM Commencement Date and beyond, were maintained in both the new Outage Management System and the old SM MPI.

Rule Participants were required to enter Outages prior to the New WEM Commencement Date within the SM MPI and not in the new Outage Management System. This included retrospective Forced Outages for the month of September.
