Around 90 mintues ago, I noted that the AEMO had directed the Wallgrove BESS to maintain a particular state of charge, and speculated on possible causes.
Tom MacDonald has since pointed out that EnergyCo/Akaysha Energy’s Waratah BESS (which is currently in commissioning) has received a similar direction – to maintain a state of charge of 96 MWh, as per market notice 121083:
