On 30 November 2023, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) made a draft rule that changes the way the system strength quantity component of the system strength charge is calculated. Under the draft rule, the system strength quantity would more accurately reflect the system strength impact of a new connection or alteration at a connection point, and would be equivalent to the ‘general system strength impact’ that a connection applicant would otherwise need to remediate.
The AER made a submission to the draft rules and determination on 11 January 2024.
