Outputs for the quarter

Website update

The priority for this quarter was to amend the wholesale energy market portion of the AER website. I have worked with AER to design a framework for the site. Implementation has been approved and booked for this quarter.

AEMC submission

The AEMC is currently considering the dispute resolution provisions for access disputes with embedded generators. I met with the AEMC and produced a report for them.

Next stage outputs

This will involve:

  • Finalising a new structure for the WEM DR portion of the AER web site.
  • Updating all forms and documents.
  • Interviewing and appointing additional members to the pool.
  • Finalising a view on the appeals.
  • Drafting a suite of clauses for participants to use in contracts.
  • A further WEM DAG meeting.

I am hoping to complete these tasks by the end of the year.

Yours sincerely
