Since this web page was published, the Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) Rules have been renamed the Electricity System and Market (ESM) Rules, and the Electricity Industry (Wholesale Electricity Market) Regulations 2004 (WEM Regulations) have been renamed the Electricity Industry (Electricity System and Market) Regulations 2004 (ESM Regulations). Changes have not been made to this web page to reflect this updated name.
The Coordinator of Energy is undertaking a review of the participation of Demand Side Response in the new WEM under clause 2.2D.1 of the Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) Rules.
The Coordinator has published a Demand Side Response (DSR) Review Consultation Paper that presents proposals for changes to:
- the commercial and regulatory framework that applies to loads that are seeking to connect on constrained access basis;
- the integration of constrained access loads into the Australian Energy Market Operator’s processes;
- the Electricity Industry (Metering Code) 2012 to allow better information sharing between Western Power and AEMO about the operation of DSR; and
- other changes to various WEM components to maximise the participation of DSR.
Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the proposals in the Consultation Paper before 5:00pm (AWST), 2 November 2023 by submitting comments to energymarkets@demirs.wa.gov.au.
