Inter-regional transfer limit variation - constraint automation to manage Power System Security in VIC region - 10/01/2026
In order to maintain the power system in a secure operating state in the VIC region, AEMO has invoked automated constraint set CA_BRIS_5873DCEF from 0500 hrs until further notice.
This constraint set contains equations with the following interconnector on the LHS;
V-S-MNSP1
VIC1-NSW1
VIC-SA

Reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event: Eildon PS - Mt Beauty No.1 220 kV line and Eildon PS - Mt Beauty No.2 220 kV line in VIC1 due to Lightning.
Reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event as a Credible Contingency Event due to Lightning. AEMO considers the simultaneous trip of the following circuits to now be more likely and reasonably possible. Accordingly AEMO has reclassified it as a credible contingency event.
Region: VIC1
Lines: Eildon PS - Mt Beauty No.1 220 kV and Eildon PS - Mt Beauty No.2 220 kV
Duration: 10/01/2026 04:30 until further notice

Forecast Minimum System Load (MSL1) condition in the VIC region on 10/01/2026
AEMO has detected that there is an elevated risk of insufficient demand to maintain a secure operating state in the VIC region on 10/01/2026.
Minimum System Load (MSL) conditions are forecast when demand is less than the relevant MSL threshold. The advisory MSL thresholds are:
- MSL1: 2116 MW
- MSL2: 1616 MW
- MSL3: 735 MW
The demand is forecast to be below the MSL1 threshold for the following period:
From 1100 hrs to 1430 hrs 10/01/2026. Minimum demand is forecast to be 1783 MW at 1230 hrs.
Forecast demand refers to forecast Operational Demand that excludes contribution from Significant Non-Scheduled Generation: see definitions at https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/operational-demand-data .

Cancellation of a Non-Credible Contingency Event: Collinsville North - Proserpine No.7125 132 kV line and Collinsville North - Proserpine No.7126 132 kV line in QLD1 due to Lightning.
Cancellation of reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event as a Credible Contingency Event due to Lightning. AEMO considers the simultaneous trip of the following circuits is no longer reasonably possible. There is no longer any lightning activity in the vicinity of the following lines. Accordingly its classification has reverted to a non-credible contingency event.
Region: QLD1
Lines: Collinsville North - Proserpine No.7125 132 kV and Collinsville North - Proserpine No.7126 132 kV
