Rolling outage plans

In planning for a shortage of supply, we have prepared and published a rolling outage plan. 

In March 2024, through industry consultation, the System Operator updated the rolling outage plan and gained Electricity Authority approval in August 2024.  The updated System Operator Rolling Outage Plan SOROP is effective from 1st September 2024 and can be viewed using the link below.

Updating your rolling outage plans

Rolling outage plans must be kept up to date and updated plans must be sent to the system operator for approval. In any event rolling outage plans must be re-submitted to the system operator for approval not later than two years after they were last approved.

Participants who have an approved rolling outage plan should forward their amended plans to the email address [email protected]. After receiving your revised outage plan, we will be in touch to work through the approval process.

The following document provides additional guidance for participants when updating their rolling outage plans:
