In order to remain consistent with the calculation of the minimum reserve levels and the abolition of Snowy region, the following interconnector headroom constraints (net import limit constraints) for MTPASA have been implemented.
- The QLD MRL is assessed with 0 MW transfer into the region because it is a local requirement.
- The NSW MRL is assessed with a net import limit into NSW of 1946 MW with suitable adjustments considering the PASA Availability of Guthega and Tumut generating units.
- The VIC MRL is assessed with a net import limit into VIC of 2510 MW with suitable adjustments considering the PASA Availability of the Murray generating unit.
- The SA MRL is assessed with 0 MW transfer into the region because it is a local requirement.
R egional boundaries and minimum reserve levels associated with the abolition of the Snowy Region were implemented in MT PASA on Sunday 29 June 2008. Refer to NEM Communication 2680.
