In respect of the exemption contained within this notice, the

Commission’s Reasons for Grant of the Exemption

Contained in This Notice

The reasons for grant of the exemption are as follows:

(a) The use of metering information, in the relevant
formulas, is the most economically consistent and
creates the least distortion in the calculation of
residual charges.

(b) The Commission is unable to identify any
participants who would be unduly affected by the
grant of the exemption.

(c) Granting the exemption will allow time for the
Commission to investigate a rule change to
appropriately address the issue.

Date Upon Which the Exemption Becomes Effective

Pursuant to Regulation 195, the date upon which the
exemption contained in this notice takes effect, being a date
which is not earlier than the date of the New Zealand
Gazette notice in respect of the exemption, is 21 October
2004.

Pursuant to Regulation 194 (5) (c), the Commission will
publicise the exemption on the Commission’s web site and
will have regard to any views that participants make known
to it by 4 November 2004 at 5.00 p.m.

For and on behalf of the Electricity Commission:

ROY HEMMINGWAY, Chair.
