The AER has published the National Electricity Market (NEM) Readiness Guide (the guide) and checklist. The guide updates and replaces the AER’s Summer Readiness Compliance Bulletin and checklist which had their genesis in assisting participants with operational challenges in summer. This guide recognises the criticality of participants maintaining a focus on compliance with their obligations all year round so they are prepared for, and can respond to, challenges as they arise.
These documents outline the AER’s expectations for complying with a number of critical obligations under the National Electricity Rules (NER), while the checklist sets out tasks that may assist participants to achieve compliance.
The AER expects participants to understand their obligations under the NER and implement robust systems and processes to achieve compliance. Participants should use the NEM Readiness Guide to assist in this process.
