Transitional Services Guideline consultation

Timeline

Matters under consultation

In March 2024, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) released its final determination on Improving security frameworks for the energy transition rule change. This introduces a new transitional non-market ancillary services (NMAS) framework for AEMO to procure and enable security services in operational timeframes to ensure that the power system is secure day-to-day.

AEMO is now consulting on the Transitional Services Guideline in accordance with NER clause 3.11.11(e) and the standard rules consultation procedure in clause 8.9.2 of the National Electricity Rules (NER).

Submissions are due to NEMReform@aemo.com.au

by 5pm AEST on 29 August 2024. Please note that submissions will be published, other than confidential material, as per AEMO’s Consultation submission guidelines.

Scope

AEMO proposes content for the Transitional Services Guideline, considering both:

• alignment with existing non-market ancillary services (NMAS) Guidelines; and
• the need for flexibility in the procurement process, due to the potential nature of the transitional services AEMO may need to procure in order to satisfy the Transitional Services Procurement Objective.
