Procedure Change Proposal
Wholesale Electricity Market Rules – Clause 2.10
Date of Notice: 12 December 2022
Matter under Consultation
AEMO has initiated this Procedure Change Proposal to amend the WEM DER Register Information Procedure to:
- incorporate electric vehicles (EVs) and electric vehicle charging equipment data in accordance with action 12 of the Electric Vehicle Action Plan: Preparing Western Australia’s electricity system for EVs as developed by Energy Policy WA;
- integrate changes following amendments to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 4777.2:2015 which has been superseded by AS/NZS 4777.2:2020;
- implement minor changes that better reflect the changed operational expectations of DER in the WEM and SWIS (e.g. implementation of Emergency Solar Management);
- improve the completeness and quality of data exchanged between Network Operators and AEMO (e.g. conveying additional context to reinforce clarity in the document; better aligning the Procedure with related technical specifications); and
- reinforce alignment to the WEM Rules, and make other minor administrative changes.
Further details are provided in the Procedure Change Proposal published with this notice. The proposed amended WEM Procedure is also published with this notice.
