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.
