System control charges

The Power System Controller (a standalone business unit within Power and Water Corporation) is licensed by the Commission to manage the day-to-day operation of the power system.

While the Commission is responsible for the regulation of the NT electricity supply industry, the function of monitoring and controlling the power system lays with the Power System Controller, with broad oversight by the Commission.

Under the Electricity Reform Act 2000, a Power System Controller is entitled to impose and recover charges relating to the operations of system control. The schedule of charges is approved by the Commission.

The Commission has detailed the regulatory framework it will use for determining system control and market operator charges in its 2024-27 Review of system control and market operator charges - Decision paper - regulatory framework document.

The Commission has approved system control charges for the current regulatory period under its 2024-27 System Control and Market Operator Charges Review – revenue and charges.
