Reliability Performance Measures To Be Disclosed By Trans Power

(Disclosure Under Regulation 17)

  1. Total number of unplanned interruptions
    Resulting from 97 loss of supply incidents in 1995-96... 229 184 234

  2. Electricity customer interruptions in system minutes... 12.2 19.5 15.1

    • planned... 5.8 4.4 5.6
    • unplanned... 6.4 15.1 9.5
  3. Underlying electricity customer interruptions in system minutes... 7.1 14.1 10.3
    Underlying interruptions are those interruptions of 1 system minute or less duration

    • planned... 3.1 2.9 4.3
    • unplanned... 4.0 11.2 6.0
  4. Average supply reliability... 99.9963% 99.9942% 99.9956%
    Measured by the energy supplied divided by the sum of the energy supplied and not supplied

  5. Uneconomic generation due to planned and unplanned transmission system unavailability... 0.81% 0.68% 0.81%
    Uneconomic generation relates to the amount of electricity generated from any source other than the most economic source.

  6. Uneconomic generation due to HVDC system unavailability... 0.73% 0.60% 0.69%

  7. Uneconomic generation due to unplanned transmission system unavailability... 0.22% 0.15% 0.07%

  8. Planned interruption restoration performance... 80.5% 92.5% 76.6%

  9. Unplanned interruption response... 99.1% 100% 99.6%

The information compiled using estimated information includes Part V sections 2,3,4,5,6 and 7.

The methodology used to calculate the estimated information is documented and available from Trans Power upon request.

  • These figures have been changed from those published in the the 1994/95 gazetted information, where two supply voltages at the same station are both interrupted this is now counted as two interruptions and not one as previously.
