Review of Limit Advice and Constraint Equations
From 1 October 2023, the WEM has moved to a constrained access model. Network limits respect the physical capabilities of the network elements to transfer electricity. Constraint equations are mathematical representations of network (and other) limits and are used in the dispatch process. The ERA undertakes a review into the effectiveness of Limit Advice provided by each Network Operator to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), and the Constraint Equations formulated by AEMO in meeting the State Electricity Objective and good electricity industry practice. The ERA must complete its first review by 30 September 2025 (two years after commencement of the new WEM), and afterwards every three years.
