The Power System Adequacy - Two Year Outlook has been prepared by AEMO to complement the existing Electrical Statement of Opportunities (ESOO), by focusing on the capability of the electrical power system to meet a possible range of conditions in the coming two years.
The attached document has been prepared based on a series of power system studies using the most recent information for electricity demand and minimum reserve levels. In addition to reporting on the expected outcomes, a sensitivity scenario has also been examined which assumes that 995 MW of existing coal fired generation is unavailable across the NEM regions from April 2011. Although it is unlikely that such an outcome would occur, this scenario is included as it provides a sensitivity study examining the potential for key measures to cause issues with power system adequacy.
