Increase in Heywood from SA to Vic test limit from 550 to 600 MW
AEMO will increase the Heywood test limit from SA to Vic (from the current 550 MW) to 600 MW today to conduct internetwork testing on Heywood.
The following constraint sets will be revoked once the testing criteria met:
I-SV_HEY_550_TEST
The following constraint sets will be invoked:
I-SV_HEY_600_TEST
AEMO will revert the Heywood test limit back to 550 MW once the test has completed while the test result being analysed.
