Preliminary Report Released: NSW Load Shedding on 8 July 2024

Today, 15 July 2024, sees the release of the preliminary report into load shedding that occurred on 8 July in NSW.

 

Readers may recall the event, noted at the time here on WattClarity: AEMO directs load shedding (following unplanned network outages) in NSW on Monday evening 8th July 2024.

In what we now can understand to have been an incredibly busy and complex period for AEMO (market operator) and Transgrid (transmission network service provider), and APA Group (owner of Directlink DC link) and Essential Energy (distribution network service provider for the impacted areas), the report identifies a sequence of 18 events that happened on either the 8th or later on the 9th.

It is reported that the total 40 MW of load shed consisted of an initial 30 MW at 18:17, followed by 10 MW at 18:55 in the Lismore area.

AEMO intends to undertake further analysis in preparation of a final incident report in due course.
