However, with the wide embrace of solar power – there are now more rooftop solar systems in Australia than swimming pools in backyards – electricity from millions of rooftop solar systems is now funnelled back into the grid. At times, this means enough power is generated to meet half of the total demand across the National Electricity Market (NEM).

Rooftop solar key to net zero

This isn''t usually a problem, since AEMO keeps the grid balanced by forecasting how much rooftop solar is being generated. However, if rooftop solar generates the majority of power in a particular region, there may not be enough dispatchable generation and reserves online to keep the grid balanced and secure. Grid security can also be

6 FAQs about [Aemo rooftop solar Bermuda]

Can AEMO control rooftop solar?

But AEMO said rooftop solar was now such as major force in the electricity system, it could no longer be hands-off in its approach to output in certain, extreme conditions. "AEMO can, and does, control large scale generation to manage security limits through dispatch in the electricity markets," it wrote.

Does AEMO have a'solar cut-off'?

It’s a long history, which details the lack of transparency and accountability in AEMO’s approach to controlling rooftop solar, where it is acting as judge and jury and having state bodies act as executioner through blunt ‘solar cut-offs’.

Will AEMO switch off rooftop solar in South Australia?

On 20 May, AEMO’s then-CEO Audrey Zibelman appeared on the 7.30 Reportcalling for new controls to enable AEMO to switch off rooftop solar in South Australia. She said: “This is very temporary, very limited and really a last resort control we need if we were worried the system would otherwise go black.”

What are AEMO's 'emergency backstop' powers?

The Australian Energy Market Operator wants "emergency backstop" powers to switch off or turn down rooftop solar systems in every state. AEMO says the powers are needed by next year for extreme situations as it grapples with ever-increasing amounts of rooftop solar output. What's next?

Should aemo'reduce' rooftop solar?

And, for AEMO, that's a worry. The agency fears the amount of conventional generation providing those security and stability services — and able to step in when the sun stops shining, for example — is falling to critically low levels. Hence it says powers are needed to "reduce" some of that excess rooftop solar at certain times.

Are 'emergency backstop' powers needed for rooftop solar?

(ABC News: Rhiannon Shine) The Australian Energy Market Operator wants "emergency backstop" powers to switch off or turn down rooftop solar systems in every state. AEMO says the powers are needed by next year for extreme situations as it grapples with ever-increasing amounts of rooftop solar output.
