| Total Generation (MW) | The total generation in that Trading Interval. | Near Realtime Operating Information | Realtime |
| Total Spinning Reserve (MW) | The total spinning reserve in that Trading Interval. Spinning Reserve is a supply capacity held in reserve from synchronised Scheduled Generators, Dispatchable Loads or Interruptible Loads, so as to be available to support the system frequency in the event of an outage of a generating works or transmission equipment or to be dispatched to provide energy as allowed under these Market Rules. This service holds capacity in reserve to respond rapidly should another unit experience a forced outage. The capacity would include on-line generation capacity, dispatchable loads and interruptible loads (i.e. loads that respond automatically to frequency drops). | Near Realtime Operating Information | Realtime |

| Trading Day | A period of 24 hours commencing at 8:00 AM on any day after Energy Market Commencement, except where the IMO declares that part of a Trading Day is to be treated as a full Trading Day under clause 9.1.1, in which case that part is a Trading Day. A Trading Day therefore starts, for example, at 8:00AM of 21/09/2006 and finishes at 8:00AM on 22/09/06. However each report only contains one date which is the start of the Trading Day. So if, for the hours between 8 and 23, the date is 21/09/2006, the date for the hours 0-7 will state 21/09/2006 when it actually occurs on the 22/09/06. | n/a | General |
