Updated maximum generation contingency size in Victoria from 600 MW to 750 MW
VicGrid has conducted studies and determined that the maximum generation contingency size in Victoria can be increased from 600 MW to 750 MW.
This change affects the generator limitations for prior outage conditions especially in the South-west Victoria area. The new generation limitation for outages is now 750 MW. AEMO has implemented this change in production on 13th May 2026 by updating generation constraints to increase the generation upper limits for outage conditions.
Please refer to the Network Outage Schedule for any upcoming outages in south-west Victoria here.
