Abstract

The National Electricity Market (NEM) in Australia is a gross pool market facilitating the wholesale trade of electrical energy. The NEM consists of infrastructure to supply and deliver electricity to the consumers when demanded. The NEM is currently divided into five pricing regions. Interconnectors enable the flow of electricity between the regions. This paper aims at identifying the costs and benefits of augmenting interconnectors in the NEM. Through the comparison of the costs and benefits a basic forecast of the requirement for interconnectors can be established. It is important that the market identifies the needs for investment prior to the time of investment so that market benefits are not foregone as a result of late investment. Correct signaling also maximises the probability of efficient investments in both interconnectors and supply or demand side options.
