Inter-regional transfer limit variation - constraint automation to manage Power System Security in VIC region - 09/01/2026
In order to maintain the power system in a secure operating state in the VIC region, AEMO has invoked automated constraint set CA_BRIS_58730C07 from 1410 hrs until further notice.
This constraint set contains equations with the following interconnector on the LHS;
V-S-MNSP1
VIC1-NSW1

ACTUAL NEGATIVE SETTLEMENT RESIDUES - VIC to SA - 9 January 2026.
Electricity Market outcomes have resulted in the accumulation of negative settlement residues that have exceeded the allowable negative residue threshold for the VIC to SA directional interconnector.
The negative residue constraint set NRM_VIC1_SA1 commenced operating from 1400 hrs on 9 January 2026.
This constraint set contains an equation with the following interconnectors on the LHS:
V-S-MNSP1
V-SA
The RHS of the constraint equation may be adjusted to manage residues.

Cancellation of a Non-Credible Contingency Event: Tungatinah-Lake Echo-Waddamana 1 110kV line and Tungatinah-Waddamana 2 110kV line in TAS1 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.

Non-credible contingency event - VIC region - 09/01/2026
At 1055 hrs the Geelong Moorabool No 1 and 2 220kV lines tripped.
AEMO did not instruct load shedding.
AEMO has not been advised of any disconnection of bulk electrical load.
The cause of this non credible contingency event is not known at this stage.
AEMO is not satisfied that this non credible event is unlikely to re-occur.
AEMO has therefore reclassified this event as a credible contingency event until further notice.
