1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to describe the functions and capabilities of the WEMS Market
Participant Interface (MPI) and act as a guide to Market Participant users. The Market Participant
Interface (MPI) is the medium between the Market Participant (MP) and AEMO to exchange and submit
registration information, trading submissions and facilitate the extraction of reports.
This document is intended for MPI users.
2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The MPI is accessed via a web browser and AEMO recommends either Internet Explorer (IE) 9 or later
or the latest Google Chrome browser. IE 8 is supported but requires a Silverlight plugin to display the
BMO (Balancing Merit Order).

4. ACCESSING THE SYSTEM
Upon visiting the site https://wems.aemo.com.au/mpi, the MPI will require the user to authenticate with
their WEMS RSA SecurID token before the user is able to access the MPI. The RSA SecurID token can
be identified by the RSA SecurID dark blue and red logo with white writing as per Figure 1 below.
Figure 1 RSA SecurID Token Example
New users must apply for WEMS access by contacting their Market Participant Administrator (MPA) as
well as completing the WEMS Token Request Form. This form, along with the RSA Quick Reference
Guide is available from the MPI login page or from Market Operations (WA)
Figure 2 Login Screen
New users must also be assigned the appropriate roles by their MPA to ensure they have the correct
access privileges.
RSA SecurID tokens are managed and issued by AEMO; however individual roles and user accounts
are managed by each MPA.

The Registration function supports Participant related activities in the Wholesale Electricity Market.
In order to gain access to the AEMO Wholesale Electricity Market System (WEMS), the Market
Participant must submit an application in writing to AEMO.
Once their access to the WEMS has been approved, AEMO will grant the user a profile in WEMS.
Accessing Registration
To navigate to the registration section, select any of the sub-menus listed in the Registration menu at
the top of the page.

The first section on the Registration page is the Applications/Change Requests section. It has two
subsections; Pending and History as shown with the arrows in Figure 74.
9.2.1 Pending
Click on Pending to show all of the pending Applications associated with Registration and Change
Requests. These will be displayed in the main section as highlighted in Figure 75. Pending means they

Figure 75 Searching for pending change requests/applications
Select one or more categories from each of the dropdown menus at the top of the window as
highlighted in Figure 75:
Participant User
Facility Type
Application/Change Request Type
The user can also filter by the AEMO Due Date. This filters pending applications/Change Requests by
the date that they are due to be approved by AEMO as per the WEM Rules. The Applications/Change
Requests will already be filtered between the current date and one week in the future. These due dates
are not fixed dates as AEMO is able to approve a date that the change can be facilitated, usually this
will be within the Due Date. Enter the start and end dates of the search period into the From and To
boxes by clicking on the calendar and selecting a date. Alternatively, the user can type the date directly
into the box in the format dd/mm/yyyy.
Once the categories and/or dates have been selected, click the Search button (the magnifying glass).
