The rule change is officially labelled as ‘temporary’ and has an end date of June 30th, 2025. During this period, it is expected that longer-term changes to the APC and associated mechanisms will be considered by the AEMC’s Reliability Panel.
Dan is a Market Analyst, who joined Global-Roam in June 2013.
He departed (and returned) for a couple of brief stints overseas, before rejoining the team permanently in late 2019. Alongside his work at Global-Roam, he has undertaken short-term contract roles as an analyst and researcher in various areas of the energy sector. Dan graduated from the Master of Sustainable Energy program at the University of Queensland in 2024.
A brief note about the (also short) notice from the AER relating to two rule change proposals which it has been asked to propose by the COAG Energy Council
Same day as we released GenInsights21, the AEMO published its High Level Design on how they will implement the AEMC Rule Change determination on Integrating Energy Storage Systems (IESS) into the NEM. Here’s the key dates.
Today the AEMC weekly email notes that:
‘We will use the standard rules consultation process to assess Delta Electricity’s proposal to allow cash as credit support. We received a valid objection to the proposed use of the expedited process, meaning the standard approach will be used instead.’ Also today was the closure date for submissions (as noted in the Consultation Paper).
Some ideas that I have been puzzling over – about the overlaps and contradictions between 3 rule changes under consideration at the AEMC currently
1) The Demand Response Mechanism (better known as the Negawatt buyback mechanism)
2) The Bidding in Good Faith deliberation
3) The Requirement for Price-Responsive (large) Demand to bid into central dispatch

Thanks for covering this Dan. Just noting that the Reliability Panel has completed the 2022 Reliability Standard and Settings Review and recommended an APC of $500/MWh for the period 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028 (along with recommended changes to the MPC and CPT).
The Reliability Panel will now need to submit a rule change request to the AEMC in order to implement the recommended changes to the settings. The AEMC would consider any proposed changes through the usual rule change process, allowing further opportunities for stakeholder input and consultation.
