On the morning of 6 February 2020 AEMO issued market notice 73857. This was in response to the enduring islanding of the SA network informing the market that when SA demand falls under 800MW a number of generators will be constrained down to zero. This includes more than 500MW of wind and 300MW of solar will be constrained down to zero.
This Chart of the week explores the potential impacts and likelihood of implementation of AEMO’s announcement.
