Note that the AER’s WDRM Participation Guidelines should not be released with the AEMO’s own WDRM Guidelines published back on 25th March 2021. Both will need to be addressed by participants!
As the AER noted on Friday in this communication release, the AER’s Participation Guidelines:
“… to be enforced by the AER, make clear the record-keeping and information retention requirements
of businesses who register as Demand Response Service Providers (DRSPs).”
… and also (I note) addresses the question:
“Whether additional guidance or information from the AER may help DRSPs to understand their bidding obligations“
We’ll look forward to seeing how the bids unfold from Sunday 24th October 2021 onwards … including in our up-coming Generator Statistical Digest 2021 publication … and update on the GSD2020 and GSD2019.
