Direction - VIC region 14/02/2024
In accordance with section 116 of the National Electricity Law, AEMO has issued a direction to a participant in the VIC region. For the purposes of the National Electricity Rules this is a direction under clause 4.8.9(a).
The direction was necessary to maintain the power system in a secure operating state.
AEMO may issue or revoke additional directions in order to meet the current requirement, unless sufficient market response is provided. A further market notice will be issued when all directions related to this requirement have been cancelled.
The issue of the direction commences an AEMO intervention event. AEMO declares all trading intervals during the event to be intervention trading intervals, commencing from the interval ending 0720 hrs on 14/02/2024.
Intervention pricing does not apply to this AEMO intervention event.

Possible intervention to manage power system security in VIC region
Possible intervention to manage power system security in VIC region
The synchronous generating units currently expected to be synchronised in VIC from 0740 hrs 14/02/2024 will be inadequate to maintain a secure operating state in VIC .
AEMO estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 0715 hrs 14/02/2024, AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more VIC synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in VIC.
