The increase in wholesale electricity energy more affordable and we are committed to finding prices, however, sent an important signal to the market that the right balance between delivering reliable, affordable and new investment in energy generation was required and sustainable energy. This year, we have taken steps to progress despite the energy policy uncertainty, as at late 2018, the this in a number of ways such as increasing competition by market was responding and wholesale electricity prices were entering new markets and putting downward pressure on beginning to reduce. prices by offering more competitive energy products.

  • Alinta Energy with the Opportunity to Provide Comment on the WEM Effectiveness Report Issues Paper
    16 December 2019 Transmission via online submission form: https://www.erawa.com.au/consultation Report to the Minister for Energy on the Effectiveness of the Wholesale Electricity Market 2019 Issues paper Thank you for providing Alinta Energy with the opportunity to provide comment on the WEM effectiveness report issues paper. The ERA has identified that the reform process is addressing many of the elements raised in previous WEM effectiveness reports. However, the ERA has highlighted an issue that does not appear to be within the reform scope, specifically the impact that network decisions can have in influencing outcomes in the WEM (and the resultant impacts on market cost optimisation). Alinta Energy supports a mechanism to ensure that network outage planning chooses the overall least cost plan Western Australia is an attractive market for renewables investment given the abundance of natural resources and the market design characteristics. However, significant support and industry leadership was required to allow new renewable generators to connect to the network in a timely manner under the interim access solution (known as the Generator Interim Access or GIA). The underlying principle of the GIA solution is that it applies constraints to limit the output of a GIA generator when network capacity is limited. This includes: • A dynamic (real-time) assessment and application of constraints during system normal; and • Manual assessment and application of constraints in other circumstances (i.e. when there is a planned outage on any network element that impacts the GIA generator). Badgingarra Wind Farm (BWF)1 is the first GIA generator in commercial operation on SWIS.

The AEMC appointed consultants to develop a long-term generation expansion plan for meeting the LRET. Consequently, the ‘core’ scenarios for the portfolio and geographic distribution of technologies have been determined. ROAM Consulting was subsequently appointed to utilise these scenarios to forecast the cost of Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS), Network Support and Control Ancillary Services (NSCAS) and transmission augmentation associated with the LRET for the National Electricity Market (NEM) and the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).
