On 26 May 2020 the AEMC received a rule change request from the COAG Energy Council (since replaced by the Energy National Cabinet Reform Committee (ENCRC) and the Energy Ministers’ Meeting (EMM)) to amend the National Electricity Rules to introduce a framework to manage indistinct events. This follows a recommendation made by the AEMC in its mechanisms to enhance resilience in the power system – review of the South Australian black system event (the BSE review).
The AER made a submission to the draft determination on 7 January 2022.
More information on the enhancing operational resilience in relation to indistinct events consultation can be found on the AEMC’s website.
