• Review initiated – 2 February 2023 
• Explanatory statement expected publication – 30 March 2023
• Final report expected publication – 30 March 2023 

Background 

The AMPR provides an assessment of reliability and security outcomes relevant to a NEM undergoing rapid transition, exemplified by significant market events, in particular the June 2022 market suspension, which occurred in the reporting period.

The report compiles information collected from a number of sources including the Australian Energy Market Operator, the Australian Energy Regulator, and market participants.

The purpose of the review final report is to:

• Consider specific events that have occurred in the NEM over the reporting period
• Assess the performance of the power system against various reliability, security, and safety measures.
• Consolidate key information related to the performance of the power system and present observations and commentary in a single publication for the purpose of informing stakeholders.
