Electricity Industry Participation Code Amendment (Dispatchable Demand: Late Bid Revisions) 2015

This amendment to the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (Code) comes into force on 1 December 2015.

The amendment amends clauses 13.19A, 13.82, and 13.141 of the Code to provide that, if a purchaser revises a nominated bid for a dispatch-capable load station in the trading period that is immediately before the trading period to which the nominated bid applies:

(a) the revised nominated bid is a nominated non-dispatch bid;

(b) the purchaser is not required to comply with a dispatch instruction for the dispatch-capable load station for the trading period to which the nominated bid applies; and

(c) the pricing manager is not required to use the final submitted nominated dispatch bid as input information.

The amendment also amends clauses 13.192 and 13.202 of the Code to clarify that constrained on and constrained off situations do not occur for dispatch-capable load stations when the final nominated bid in the trading period immediately before the trading period to which the nominated bid applies is a nominated non-dispatch bid.
