AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Forecast LOR2 condition South Australia Region –
05:30 – 17:00 hrs on 22 October 2014
05:30 – 17:00 hrs on 23 October 2014A LOR2 condition is forecast for the South Australia region during the planned outages of Moorabool – Sydenham No.1 and South Morang – Sydenham No.1 500 kV lines in the Victorian region on 22 and 23 October 2014.
If a credible contingency event occurs during this outage period the South Australia region could separate from the rest of the NEM and is likely to result in interruptions to power supplies.
There are sufficient capacity reserves in the South Australia region to meet electricity demand but it may not be possible to bring the required additional capacity into service in time to avoid automatic under-frequency load shedding causing power interruptions.
Actual LOR2 conditions will be advised in dispatch.
