AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

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.

Please also refer to the published formal PEC Stage 1 and HIC capacity release testing information at the following link: https://aemo.com.au/-/media/files/stakeholder_consultation/consultations/nem-consultations/2023/project-energyconnect-stage-1-and-hic-capacity-release/pec-stage-1-and-hic---final-test-program.pdf?la=en.

AEMO has now completed the production of the Murraylink dynamic rating forecast model and the forecasting performance has been satisfactory during the test. AEMO will be enabling the pre-dispatch and PASA formulation using the Murraylink dynamic rating forecast on the following two constraint equations at 1000 hrs on Wednesday 27th May 2026.

VSML_RAT_LIM_DYN
SVML_RAT_LIM_DYN

For full details on the formulation, the updated constraint equations have now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.

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.

This is an AEMO autogenerated Market Notice.

AEMO and APA have been working on better ways to reflect Murraylink transfer capability more accurately during high ambient temperature conditions. APA has supplied AEMO with a real time dynamic rating and AEMO will apply this in new constraint equations to dispatch Murraylink.

At this stage, the constraint equations will only be active in Dispatch timeframe.

The following two constraint equations will be implemented in constraint set V-NIL and S-NIL, at 1000 hrs on Thursday 12th March 2026:

VSML_RAT_LIM_DYN
SVML_RAT_LIM_DYN

For full details on the formulation, the new constraint equations have now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.
