Directions to SA Generators – 25 April 2017 to 26 April 2017

Between 25 April 2017 and 26 April 2017, AEMO issued two directions to South Australian Market Participants to maintain power system security. 

Where the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) intervenes in the National Electricity Market (NEM) through the use of directions, AEMO must publish a report in accordance with National Electricity Rules (NER) clauses 4.8.9(f) and 3.13.6A.

The NEM Event report below satisfies those NER obligations and is based on information available to AEMO at the time of publication:

In accordance with NER Clause 3.15.7B (c)(1), AEMO is required to appoint an Independent Expert to assess and determine the additional compensation claims for the Directed participant that exceeds the $20,000 threshold and exceeds the $100,000 aggregate threshold. 

Further information on the appointment and reports completed by the Independent Expert(s) relating to the reporting period of 25 April 2017 to 26 April 2017 is accessible from the following page(s):
