Possible intervention to manage power system security in VIC region
The synchronous generating units currently expected to be synchronised in VIC from 1830 hrs 13/02/2024 will be inadequate to maintain a secure operating state in VIC .
AEMO estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 1730 hrs 13/02/2024, AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more VIC synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in VIC.
