Whilst NSW experienced balmy conditions leading to record low ‘Market Demand’, and QLD positively bakes on the last day of winter – spare a thought for Tasmanians who were exposed to ‘widespread abnormal weather’ as per AEMO’s Market Notice 118010 published at 14:41 this afternoon:
——————————————————————-
MARKET NOTICE
——————————————————————-
From : AEMO
To : NEMITWEB1
Creation Date : 31/08/2024 14:41:03
——————————————————————-
Notice ID : 118010
Notice Type ID : RECLASSIFY CONTINGENCY
Notice Type Description : Reclassify contingency events
Issue Date : 31/08/2024
External Reference : Reclassification of non-credible contingency event due to existence of widespread abnormal conditions – TAS region
——————————————————————-
Reason :
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE.
AEMO has identified that a non-credible contingency event impacting the power system is more likely to occur and is considered reasonably possible because of the existence of widespread abnormal conditions namely severe weather in the TAS region.
AEMO has therefore reclassified the occurrence of a non-credible contingency event involving multiple plant due to these abnormal conditions as credible.
Duration: 1440 hrs 31/08/2024 until further notice.
Need for further measures is being monitored and further measures may be implemented in line with the Power System Security Guidelines (SO_OP_3715).
