AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE.
AEMO has identified that a non-credible contingency event impacting the power system is more likely to occur and is considered reasonably possible because of the existence of widespread abnormal conditions namely Severe Space Weather Watch in the NEM regions.

AEMO has therefore reclassified the occurrence of a non-credible contingency event involving multiple plant due to these abnormal conditions as credible.

Duration: 2100 hrs 04/10/2024 until further notice

Need for further measures is being monitored and further measures may be implemented in line with the Power System Security Guidelines (SO_OP_3715).

Participant Impact and Requirements: The following impacts are expected to participant connectivity during this planned outage on the 19th October 2024:

IPWAN Participants - A brief interuption of up to 60 seconds while services are failover from QLD to NSW Datacenter.

Lan-2-Lan VPN Participants (IPSEC) - Up to 2 hour outage for participants who have established their VPN connection/s via the AEMO QLD datacenter termination point (202.44.76.10) only - All L2L connections should be established to both QLD / NSW.

Note: Participants are encouraged to ensure their VPN connections are already established or are configured (as per AEMO best practice) to automatically failover to the alternate AEMO NSW datacenter termination point (202.44.78.10) prior to this scheduled outage.

B2B VPN - No impact is expected.

SSL VPN Participants: None expected as SSL VPN's are hosted on a different device.

GASHUB: No impact is expected as GASHUB will be failed over to the NSW Datacenter.

Other Impacts will have been communicated in advance.

** FAILURE TO ENSURE VPN FAILOVER WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF MARKETNET CONNECTIVITY **
Support Information:
Report any impacts to the AEMO Information and Support Hub or call 1300 236 600.
