Inter-Network Test Guidelines Consultation

The National Electricity Rules (“the Rules”) defines an Inter-network test as:

A test conducted for the purpose of verifying the magnitude of the power transfer capability of more than one transmission network in accordance with clause 5.7.7.

Clause 5.7.7(k) of the the Rules states that:

The AEMO may develop, publish and amend from time to time, in accordance with the Rules consultation procedures, a set of guidelines to assist Registered Participants to determine when an inter-network test may be required.

Guidelines were developed by NEMMCO, in accordance with the Rules consultation requirements in clause 8.9 of the Rules, and published on 7 February 2008.

Prior 1 July 2009 the obligation to develop guidelines for inter-network testing was on the IRPC. Under transitional arrangements (clause 11.22.3) these guidelines are deemed to be the guidelines published by AEMO under clause 5.7.7(k), except to the extent that the guidelines are varied by AEMO.
