Submission on efficient provision of inertia

The JEC provided a submission to the Australian Energy Market Commission’s Directions Paper on the Efficient Provision of Inertia.

We supported the intent of the rule change. The Paper addresses reforms which would represent a marked improvement on the current state in which there is no incentive for the provision of inertia above the minimum level needed for the secure operation of the system. Meeting additional inertia demand could help facilitate the transition to a net zero energy system and reduce dispatch costs through mitigating the need for fast frequency response and enabling cheaper generation or interconnector flows.
