Electricity System and Market Rules – Clause 2.2C

Matter under consultation

Western Power commenced the Procedure Change Process to amend Determining Loss Factors WEM Procedure. The amendments include The WEM Procedure will reflect changes to the term “Connection Point” with “Measurement Point” to align with clause 2.27 of the ESM Rules, as “Connection Point” is no longer valid under the 2024 Miscellaneous Amendment No. 3.

Additionally, the notification period in clause 4.5.3 will be extended from 10 business days to 15 business days, giving Market Participants more time to notify Western Power of eligible Measurement Points requiring individual DLF calculations.
