As a potentially interested party, the ACCC invites you to provide a submission in relation to these applications. If you do not wish to make a submission, no further action is required from you. Applications for authorisation The Applicants both operate (or will operate) electricity generators which supply electricity to the North West Power System (NWPS) for use by an energy retailer and large companies, predominately mining operations. The NWPS is an isolated electricity generation and transmission network based in Mt Isa and is not connected to the national grid. The Applicants are seeking authorisation of the technical and operational arrangements related to the operation of the NWPS. Specifically, the parties are seeking authorisation to agree rules related to the coordination of dispatch of generators, and demand management and load shedding of certain electricity consumers within the NWPS (the Dispatch Protocol). Authorisation has been sought for 5 years. Attachment A sets out the full scope of conduct for which the Applicants are seeking authorisation. A full copy of the application for authorisation is available on the ACCC’s website <www.accc.gov.au/AuthorisationsRegister>. Request for submissions The ACCC invites you to make a submission on the likely public benefits and effect on competition, or any other public detriment, from the proposed arrangements.
