Non-credible contingency event more likely to occur due to existence of abnormal condition/s - SA region.
AEMO has identified that a non-credible contingency event is more likely to occur because of the existence of abnormal conditions namely severe weather in the SA region.
As at the time of this notice the criteria for reclassification of any non-credible contingency event have not been met, however there is a possibility of severe weather impacting multiple transmission elements in its vicinity.
Conditions can change rapidly and potentially impacted plant may change. Further notices will only be published to advise of any reclassification, or when the abnormal conditions have ceased to impact the likelihood of a non-credible event occurring.
Constraint set I-VS_250 invoked at 1440 hrs 28/10/2021 until further notice.

Direction - SA Region - 27/10/2021
Direction - SA Region - 27/10/2021
In accordance with section 116 of the National Electricity Law, AEMO has issued a direction to a participant in the SA region. For the purposes of the National Electricity Rules this is a direction under clause 4.8.9(a).
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.
The issue of the direction commences an AEMO intervention event. AEMO declares all trading intervals during the event to be intervention trading intervals, commencing from the interval ending 1605 hrs on 27/10/2021.
Intervention pricing does not apply to this AEMO intervention event.

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 currently expected to be synchronised in SA from 2230 hrs 27/10/2021 to 0400 hrs 29/10/2021 will be inadequate to maintain sufficient system strength in SA and hence a secure operating state.
AEMO estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 1600 hrs 27/10/2021, 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.
