Network and Frequency Control Ancillary Service constraints in the NEM overview

IMPORTANT: AEMO has postponed all face-to-face energy education courses during the COVID-19 health alert. Webinars will proceed as planned, and e-learning continues to be available.

We are currently working to develop a technology delivery solution to allow instructor-led courses to proceed virtually where appropriate, and will update the course schedule accordingly once this is in place.

Please check this page regularly for the status of upcoming sessions.

We are not currently accepting any new registrations for face-to-face courses. To be notified by email when registrations re-open, please contact energyeducation@aemo.com.au and include the name of the course(s) you are interested in.
