Direction - SA region 02/11/2019
Direction - SA region 02/11/2019
In accordance with section 116 of the National Electricity Law, AEMO has issued a direction to a participant in the SA region.
The direction was necessary to maintain the power system in a secure operating state.
AEMO may issue or revoke additional directions in order to meet the current requirement, unless sufficient market response is provided.
A further market notice will be issued when all directions related to this requirement have been cancelled.
For the purposes of the National Electricity Rules this is a direction under clause 4.8.9(a).

Possible intervention to manage power system security in South Australia (SA) Region
Possible intervention to manage power system security in South Australia (SA) Region
The synchronous generating units expected to be synchronised in SA from 0830 hrs 03/11/2019 to 1630 hrs 03/11/2019 in Pre-dispatch published at 1230 hrs 02/11/2019 are inadequate to maintain sufficient system strength in SA and hence a secure operating state.
AEMO currently estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 1400 hrs 02/11/2019, AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more SA synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in SA.
