On 30 March 2011, SP AusNet submitted a proposal for the early application of the market impact component of the electricity transmission service target performance incentive scheme (7 March 2008) (the scheme).
On 6 April 2011, SP AusNet submitted an amendment to the proposal for the early application of the scheme.
The market impact component of the scheme aims to provide incentives to transmission network service providers to minimise the number and duration of network outages which affect price outcomes in the electricity spot market. SP AusNet seeks have the scheme apply from 1 August 2011.
SP AusNet’s proposal (including the amendment) and other relevant information can be found on the AER’s website.
