Regulatory Updates

Where continuous monitoring is in place, the AEMC now supports extended intervals between active compliance tests.

VeriConneX has just lodged a submission to the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) Reliability Panel's issues paper for the Template for Compliance Programs. https://www.aemc.gov.au/market-reviews-advice/compliance-template-review-2026 The current template was designed during a time when the generation mix looked very different. The Panel's issues paper recognises we're now connecting integrated resource systems (batteries), synchronous condensers, and registered lo

After monitoring 3GW+ across Australia, we strongly believe that effective GPS compliance programs rest on four pillars: 1. Monitoring – Continuous automated performance tracking. Catches issues early. 2. Testing – Validates edge conditions. Essential, but complementary to monitoring. 3. Modelling – Periodic validation that models match reality. Critical for investigations. 4. Reporting – Proactive status updates, not reactive record-keeping. A testing-centric framework no lo

AEMO just mapped out Australia's grid future. The compliance implications are significant. Their 2025 System Security Transition Plan confirms what many of us have been observing: the way we're thinking about grid operation is changing in real-time. Three insights that matter for renewable asset owners: System complexity is accelerating – As synchronous generation retires, technical performance requirements for inverter-based resources are becoming more stringent and more scr
