Market Notice – NTESMO Communications Guideline
Date of Notice: 29 April 2025
NTESMO has published Communications Guideline under S7A.1.3 of the NT National Electricity Rules to detail how participants in the Northern Territory electricity market will communicate. The guideline requires communication to be via the AEMO MSATS system.
NTESMO has determined, after consultation with market participants, that use of the AEMO MSATS system in the Northern Territory, as specified in the NTESMO Communications Guideline, will start 1 July 2025.
This date is subject to confirmation of participant readiness and the results of the May 2025 dress rehearsal, which will determine if all participants are ready and capable of converting systems to transact in accordance with the published Communications Guideline and MSATS procedures.
The interim market procedures in Section 9 of the Communications Guideline will cease to operate from 1 July 2025. A separate market notice will be issued by 15 May confirming the end date of the interim procedures.
From 1 July 2025 all communication between market participants in the Northern Territory will be via MSATS in accordance with the published NTESMO procedures.
