The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has granted interim authorisation to allow participants in the North West Power System to agree to rules relating to the coordination of electricity dispatch schedules at electricity generators in the NWPS.

The NWPS is an electricity generation and transmission network centred in the Mount Isa region of Queensland which services surrounding mining operations as well as residents and businesses in Mount Isa and Cloncurry. Due to its isolation the NWPS is not connected to the National Electricity Market.

Further information is available on the authorisations public register.
