Procedure change proposal
Electricity System and Market Rules – Clause 2.10
Date of Notice: 16 May 2025
Matter under consultation
The purpose of this Procedure Change Proposal is to align the WEM Procedure: Identification of Affected Dispatch Intervals to changes made to the ESM Rules, as a result of the Wholesale Electricity Market Amendment (Miscellaneous Amendments No 3).
The WEM Procedure has been amended to include:
- the conditions or circumstances that would require AEMO to determine a replacement Market Schedule under clause 7.11B.1B(bA) [clause 7.11C.1(b)]; and
- the process AEMO must follow to determine a replacement Market Schedule under clause 7.11B.1B(bA) [clause 7.11C.1(c)].
In addition to the above changes, AEMO has also taken the opportunity to:
- make amendments to the WEM Procedure to more accurately reflect the conditions or circumstances which may identify and result in an Affected Dispatch Interval; and
- replace all references to the WEM Rules and WEM Regulations to ESM Rules and ESM Regulations (as applicable) to be consistent with naming conventions as of February 2025.
On 6 February 2025 the State Electricity Objective (SEO) replaced the Wholesale Market Objectives under section 3A of the Electricity Industry Act 2004. Following an assessment, AEMO considers the Procedure is consistent with the SEO.
