Our Security of Supply Annual Assessments provide an assessment of the power system's ability to meet prudent winter energy and peak requirements over the next seven years.
2022 Review of the Security of Supply Annual Assessment
In February as part of the 2022 Security of Supply Annual Assessment update we asked for comment on the Reference Case and Sensitivities we use for the Security of Supply Annual Assessment. The document linked below contains the comments provided by industry participants and our responses to them.
To assist in managing security of supply the system operator identifies asset owner outages that negatively impact security of supply when hydro storage crosses the 1% Electricity Percentage Risk Curve. These are the outages the system operator may request asset owners to reschedule when hydro storage crosses the 4% Electricity Percentage Risk Curve. Identifying (and subsequentially rescheduling) these outages is intended to assist in conserving hydro resources. The system operator is seeking to avoid (to the extent reasonably possible) the need for an Official Conservations Campaign and act as a reasonable and prudent system operator when managing security during Security of Supply situations.
Asset owner outages that may negatively impact security of supply are shown in the link below
