I thought this was interesting on the LOR3 condition (from section 5 of the preliminary report):
There was enough generation in the Victoria region to meet demand, however, due to constraints on the network,
this generation was not able to supply the load. At 1420 hrs on 13 February 2024, an actual LOR3 condition was
declared and AEMO issued a direction under section 116 of the National Electricity Law (NEL) (deemed a clause
4.8.9 instruction under NER 4.8.9(a1)(2)) to load shed 300 MW of load in the KTS/TTS/ROTS metropolitan area to
maintain the system in a secure operating state.
