Invitation to comment: Consultation – Adjustment to Alert Contingent Storage Release Boundary

Submissions Close on 16 August 2024 at 12:00 noon.

We are now consulting on our draft decision to adjust the Alert Contingent Storage Release Boundary, which will allow hydro generators to access their contingent storage earlier than under current settings.  This is in response to lake levels falling to just 55% of average for the time of year, putting them in the bottom 5% of historic records. 

More information is available on this emerging security of supply risk here.
