Power System Review 2014-15

The Utilities Commission (the Commission) has released the 2014-15 Power System Review. On an annual basis, the Commission is required by the Electricity Reform Act to prepare a Power System Review that reports on power system performance and capacity for the Darwin-Katherine, Alice Springs and Tennant Creek power systems.

For the 2014-15 Review, the Commission continues to place focus on power system incident reporting and planning, including the power system model and spinning reserve, generation availability and response, network planning, availability and reliability. The Commission has also considered the approach to power system planning in Alice Springs and Tennant Creek.

The 2014-15 Review is the first review following the structural separation of the retail and generation business units from Power and Water Corporation (PWC). The Commission has therefore considered the roles and responsibilities of the electricity market participants in managing the security and reliability of the system post-structural separation.

The Commission has also published a summary of key findings from the 2014-15 Power System Review.
