Data Centres Will Have to “Ride Through” Grid Faults, Not Trip Off, Under Proposed New Rules
The Australian Energy Market Commission released draft technical standards requiring large data centres (30 MW or more) to ride through voltage and frequency disturbances instead of disconnecting. The rules aim to prevent cascading failures and limit the cost of grid upgrades by aligning Australia’s standards with those in the US, Texas, Finland and other jurisdictions. Facilities must stay connected or recover power within defined timeframes, with requirements scaling by size. The AEMC also proposes mechanisms for transmission operators to contract system‑strength services, potentially opening a role for battery‑forming inverters.
