Procedure Change Proposal

Wholesale Electricity Market Rules – Clause 2.10

Date of Notice: 19 February 2024

Matter under Consultation

AEMO has initiated this Procedure Change Proposal to amend the Procedure following amendments to the WEM Rules1 arising from Stage 2 of a review by the Coordinator into potential improvements in the procurement and activation of supplementary capacity1.  

In response to the Amending Rules, gazetted on 18 July 2023, the amended Procedure will:

  • clarify the role of Western Power in supporting AEMO to measure the performance of supplementary capacity services that have been activated in accordance with a Supplementary Capacity Contract and timelines for the provision of this information and assistance.
  • document the process and information requirements for those intending to respond to a call for expression of interest under clause 4.24.1A or intending to provide supplementary capacity in response to a call for tender or direct negotiation under clause 4.24.2 who request assistance or an assessment by Western Power.
  • determine how a payment in relation to a Supplementary Capacity Contract is to be made to the party identified in clause 4.29.3(e)(ii) if that party is not a Market Participant.
  • determine under clause 4.24.8(d) that a provider of an Eligible Service has access to the network.
  • reinforce alignment to the WEM Rules, as amended.

AEMO is seeking comment and feedback on: 

  • whether the proposed changes to the Procedure effectively implement AEMO’s intended outcomes and give effect to the Amending Rules.
  • whether stakeholders believe there are any other relevant issues that have not been considered.
