Understanding Market Settlement and Transfer Solution (MSATS)

With various jurisdictions relaxing local COVID-19 restrictions, AEMO will begin slowly re-introducing in-person course delivery for a limited selection of courses. Attendance at courses scheduled for in-person delivery remains subject to local restrictions, and AEMO may cancel or amend a scheduled course at any time to safeguard the health of participants and presenters.

This instructor-led education course, run by experts in MSATS and related business processes, explains how and why MSATS works the way it does.

The course is delivered over two days in a face-to-face setting, or three half-days plus eLearning module when held virtually.
