3. STANDARD PRICE

For the purposes of paragraph 2, the Standard Price for a Point of Output Connection in the North Island for each Half Hour during each Billing Period shall be calculated as follows:

SPₕ = Pₕ × AC × M

Where:

SPₕ = Standard Price for that Half Hour at Haywards in the case of a Point of Output Connection in the North Island

Pₕ = the greater of:
(a) EPᵧₕ; and
(b) EWᵥₕ

Where

SPᵇ = Standard Price for that Half Hour at Benmore in the case of a Point of Output Connection in the South Island

Pᵇ = the greater of
(a) EPᵧᵇ; and
(b) EWᵥᵇ

EPᵧᵇ = Year Ahead Price for that Half Hour at Benmore

EWᵥᵇ = Weekly Notified Charge for that Half Hour at Benmore

AC = AC Factor for the Point of Output Connection at which Electricity is drawn off from the National Grid
