Registration Processes for the New Market

This page provides guides, templates and other documentation related to registration process for the new Real-Time Market in the WEM.

Background 

As part of WEM Reform there will be changes to the registration and participant framework, which will:

  • facilitate the participation of new technologies and configurations in the WEM; and

  • allow provision of more granular registration information to support scheduling and dispatch.

For all existing Rule Participants to continue their participation in WEM they must submit new registration applications to provide data required for the new market. 

Below is the relevant information for existing Rule Participants and candidate Rule Participants to ensure they meet their transitional registration requirements to be ready for New WEM Commencement Day.

What do participants need to do?

Review the below sections in relation to Transitional registration: 

  1. Registration Schedule - to be aware of when application submission deadlines are.
  2. Excel applications forms (Optional) - to gain provisional approval of Facility data prior to entering your application in the Registration (SCED) interface within WEMS MPI.
  3. Submit applications via Registration (SCED) interface (Mandatory) - to gain final approval of Facility data and complete Facility registration for the new Real-Time Market.
  4. Other registration forms (Optional) - to submit other registration forms for the new market (e.g. Facility Aggregation/ Disaggregation, Facility Class reassessment Forms, and NDL association form for Interruptible Loads).

Registration Schedule

AEMO has published a Registration Schedule which outlines relevant events and submission deadlines for registration applications that are to be submitted between 3 May 2023 and New WEM Commencement Day (1 October 2023). Rule Participants are strongly encouraged to review the Registration Schedule which is available below.

 

AEMO encourages applicants to submit their applications as early as practicable to ensure there is adequate time for AEMO to review the information is complete and accurate for participation in the processes under the new market.  

Applications received after the deadlines cannot be guaranteed to be processed in time for Rule Participants to meet their obligations and participate in processes leading up to the new market.

Please note trading submissions for registered Facilities in the new Real-Time Market commence from 3 September 2023.
