Under the Rules, the AEMC adjusts this maximum spot price MPC (market price cap) by movements in the consumer price index by 28 February each year for the rate to commence on 1 July. For the 2020-2021 financial year the MPC is $15,000/MWh. There is a further limit on the price called the Cumulative Price Threshold. The Cumulative Price Threshold is the sum of value of the all the TI's for the previous 7 days, calculated on a rolling basis.
