AEMO requests that Notice of Closure be extended to 5 years (in some cases)

I’ve already noted about ‘… the AEMO rule change request ‘Efficient and timely management of system security needs through the energy transition’’.  But (given a few factors) it’s worth explicitly calling out Request 2a – which is:

Extend the notice of closure outlook obligations in NER 2.10.1(c2) for relevant exiting plant to five years to align with NSCAS gap declaration timeframes; ’

Now, I see that Sarah Lawley’s already asked one question about the practicalities of this request – but I’d just like to:

1)  Remind readers that the draft Report of the Nelson Review had suggested that the Notice of Closure be extended to 5 years (their Recommendation #7);

2)  But importantly to reiterate what we’ve earlier written (after speaking at NEMDev 2025) as ‘Some suggestions for the Nelson Review panel to consider (with respect to Forecasting) following review of the Draft Report’:
