    DescriptionQuoted on the market design implications of AEMO's unprecedented suspension of the National Electricity Market spot market, identifying the risk that generators may collectively withhold bidding capacity and thereby convert the threat of blackouts into reality. Argued that a system in which the market operator must direct or induce generators to return to service signals fundamental failure in the electricity regulatory and generation framework rather than a transient operating difficulty.
