charged by ECNZ to the RFE. Typical costs under this heading which ECNZ might incur but which might be attributable to the RFE could include:
a Routine Station Operating Costs: ECNZ will on-charge any direct costs associated with operating the new power stations including the direct costs of operators.
b Routine Station Maintenance Costs: ECNZ will on-charge any direct costs of monitoring, minimising and rectifying faults and defects in the generating plant and equipment, together with the direct costs associated with environmental requirements, buildings and road maintenance and maintenance training.
c Contracting-out Costs: ECNZ will on-charge any costs involved where contractors are used to perform tasks for the stations.
d Ancillary Services: Where ECNZ provides ancillary services to the RFE, such as backup, spinning reserve, and hedge products, they will be charged at a comparable price to that which ECNZ would sell to any independent generator.
e Transmission Charges: Where possible, Trans Power will charge the RFE directly for Trans Power services (including an allocation of the costs of transmission constraints) on the same basis as other independent power producers. ECNZ will on-charge to the RFE any other transmission charges incurred by it that are related to the RFE.
f Fuel: Fuel provided to the RFE by ECNZ will be charged at full cost, except for gas which will be charged at the full opportunity cost.
The same principles will apply should the RFE provide any goods or services to ECNZ.
Indirect Costs
15 Typical costs under this heading which ECNZ might incur but which might be attributable to the RFE could include:
5 The "opportunity cost" of gas is the market value of that tranche of gas.
6 "Indirect costs" are all the costs other than direct costs and depreciation which are incurred by ECNZ in connection with providing goods and services to the RFE (or vice versa).
