Under the National Electricity Rules (clause 11.30.2), we provide the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) with a spreadsheet of our planned network outages.
The published planned network outage details represent our current intentions and best estimates, however there are a number of reasons that some network outages may need to be re-scheduled including:
- A system security or reliability incident such as an anticipated failure of plant or equipment on the network.
- Adverse weather conditions that could lead to system security or reliability problems.
- Other environmental hazards such as bushfires, floods or earthquakes.
- Optimising the overall availability of the network based on needs and resources.
