Interpretation
1(1) For the purposes of the Act and this Regulation, "data centre"
means a facility or facilities, or a proposed facility or facilities, the
purpose of which is to house and operate computing equipment for
applications including data hosting and cloud computing, digital asset
mining, artificial intelligence and machine learning and digital services
and content delivery.
(2) In this Regulation,
(a) "affiliate" has the meaning given to it in the Business
Corporations Act;
(b) "bridged data centre" means a tethered data centre that is
provided with system access service in accordance with
section 9;
(c) "demand" means the rate of electric energy that may be
consumed by a data centre from the transmission system
instantaneously, measured in megawatts;
(d) "request leading to designation" means a system access
service request that led to a data centre, proposed data centre,
generating unit, proposed generating unit, energy storage
facility or proposed energy storage facility being designated
as a tethered data centre, tethered generating unit or tethered
energy storage facility, as the case may be;
(e) "system access service request" means a request for system
access service or a modification to system access service or a
request that is deemed to be a system access service request
under
section 4(2);
(f) "tethered data centre" means a large data centre, or a
proposed large data centre, that has been designated as a
tethered data centre under
section 5(1);
(g) "tethered generating unit or tethered energy storage facility"
means a generating unit or energy storage facility, or a
proposed generating unit or proposed energy storage facility,
that is designated as a tethered generating unit or tethered
energy storage facility under
section 5(2).
Large data centres
2(1) For the purposes of this Regulation, a data centre is a "large data
centre" if the data centre has, or in the case of a proposed data centre
will have, a maximum demand directly from the transmission system
equal to or greater than
(a) 75 megawatts, or
(
b) a lower maximum demand threshold established under
subsection (2).
(2) The Independent System Operator may establish and apply a lower
maximum demand threshold for the purpose of determining whether
data centres are, or proposed data centres will be, large data centres if
the Independent System Operator determines that a lower threshold is
required to
(
a) ensure the safe, reliable and economic operation of the
interconnected electric system in accordance with
section
17(
h) of the Act, or
(
b) maintain the reliability and adequacy of the interconnected
electric system in accordance with
section 29(1)(
b) of the
Act.
Aggregation of data centres
3 For the purposes of this Regulation, the Independent System
Operator may treat 2 or more data centres as a single data centre if
(
a) in the opinion of the Independent System Operator, the data
centres are or will be physically or operationally integrated
and are or will be located on the same parcel or adjacent
parcels of land, and
(
b) one or more of the following circumstances exists:
(
i) the same person or an affiliate of that person receives
system access service for the data centres;
(ii) the same person or an affiliate of that person is
requesting system access service or a modification to
system access service for the data centres;
(iii) a person or an affiliate of that person is receiving
system access service for a data centre or data centres
and is requesting system access service or a
modification to system access service for another data
centre or data centres.
Underutilized facilities
4(1) A person may request that the Independent System Operator
declare a generating unit or energy storage facility an underutilized
generating unit or underutilized energy storage facility and, on
receiving such a request, the Independent System Operator may, if
doing so will not compromise the reliability and adequacy of the
interconnected electric system,
(
a) declare the generating unit or energy storage facility an
underutilized generating unit or underutilized energy storage
facility, and
(
b) determine the rate at which the generating unit or energy
storage facility is currently providing electric energy to the
transmission system.
(2) A request for a generating unit or energy storage facility to be
declared an underutilized generating unit or underutilized energy
storage facility is deemed to be a request for modified system access
service for the purposes of this Regulation.
(3) If a generating unit or energy storage facility is declared to be an
underutilized generating unit or underutilized energy storage facility,
the Independent System Operator may deem for the purposes of this
Regulation that the generating unit or energy storage facility has been
provided modified system access service.
Tethered facilities
5(1) When responding to a system access service request for a large
data centre or proposed large data centre, the Independent System
Operator may designate the large data centre or proposed large data
centre as a tethered data centre if
(
a) the person requesting system access service or a modification
to system access service has, as part of that request and in the
form and manner determined by the Independent System
Operator, committed to the satisfaction of the Independent
System Operator to associate that request with a system
access service
