On 1 December 2016, AEMO issued directions to generators in South Australia and Victoria.

In accordance with NER Clause 3.15.7A (b1) for services other than Energy and Market Ancillary Services, AEMO is required to appoint an independent expert to assess and determine the compensation for those Directed Participants. AEMO also received additional intervention claims from Directed Participants and Affected Participants that exceeded the $100,000 aggregate threshold (NER Clause 3.15.7B(c)(1) and 3.12.2 (l)(1)), and must therefore be determined by an independent expert.

AEMO nominated an independent expert on 30 January 2017 with no objections received. AEMO then appointed Mr. Euan Morton at Synergies Economic Consulting as the independent expert to determine compensation for Directions in South Australia and Victoria on 1 December 2016.

The draft report of the independent expert’s assessment of fair payment price for the Direction for services other than Energy and Market Ancillary Services, and the additional intervention claims, can be downloaded below:
