Electricity Industry Participation Code Amendment (Dispatch Notification Enhancement and Clarifications) 2024


Explanatory note

This note is not part of the amendment, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This amendment to the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 ("Code") comes into force on 1 March 2024.

The amendment amends Part 1 and Part 13 of the Code to enable a dispatch notification purchaser operating a dispatch-capable load station with resource located at more than one grid exit point (GXP) to apply to the system operator for approval to submit nominated bids at a single GXP.

The amendment also makes two clarifications to the dispatch notification product. First, it clarifies that a dispatch notification purchaser only has obligations as a dispatchable load purchaser under Part 13 of the Code. Second, it clarifies that dispatch notification purchasers and dispatch notification generators must provide information the Authority may reasonably require to monitor compliance with Part 13 of the Code.
