Matters under consultation

AEMO is implementing the Shortening the Settlement Cycle (SSC) reform following the Australian Energy Market Commission’s final determination, made on 12 December 2024. The change was made in response to GloBird Energy’s rule change request to shorten the settlement cycle.

The final rule shortens the National Electricity Market (NEM) settlement cycle to nine business days following the end of a billing period and introduces a new revision 20 business days following the end of the billing period.

The final rule will commence at the start of billing week 33 on 9 August 2026.

Under clause 3.15.11(d)(2) of the National Electricity Rules (NER), AEMO is responsible for publishing the Reallocations Timetable from time to time. AEMO considered it important to request feedback on the changes, so in the interest of transparency to stakeholders, AEMO conducted a single round consultation on updates to the Reallocation Timetable which is now completed.

Scope

The focus of this consultation was proposed amendments to the Reallocation Timetable to:

• Reflect changes to be made with effect from 9 August 2026 by the National Electricity Amendment (Shortening the settlement cycle) Rule 2024, such as:
  • Updating the due date for ex post reallocations for inclusion in a final statement
• More clearly describe the date and time parameters for registering a reallocation request for an ex post reallocation for inclusion in a final statement or preliminary statement
