Matters under consultation
The focus of this consultation is to reflect the National Electricity Amendment (Improving security frameworks for the energy transition) Rule 2024 (ISF Rule) into the Regional Benefits Ancillary Services Procedure (Procedure).
In summary the changes are to include Transitional Services to the existing Procedure.
AEMO considers these changes to be minor or administrative in nature. The changes make the Procedure consistent with and aligned to the NER, as amended by the ISF Rule. The changes which AEMO makes to an existing procedure, guideline or other document – including by inserting new NER clauses, updating existing material and providing additional clarity - will generally be considered to be minor or administrative, if those changes:
- do not change the substantive rights or obligations of participants
- do not require participants to incur any costs or change their systems
- are not expected to involve material cost for AEMO
- are straightforward and not contentious in nature.
AEMO considers it important to request feedback on the Procedure, in the interests of transparency.
Consultation process
AEMO invites stakeholders to:
- provide feedback and comments on the accompanying change-marked document
- identify any unintended adverse consequences of the changes.
Stakeholders are invited to submit written responses via email to NEMReform@aemo.com.au by Friday 4 October 2024.
