Notice of Amendments to Electricity Governance Rules 2003

1. Pursuant to section 172I of the Electricity Act 1992,
   I notify the amendment of the Electricity Governance Rules
   2003 (“the Rules”) under section 172H of the Electricity Act

3. The empowering provisions for the electricity
   governance regulations in relation to which the Rules are
   made are sections 172D (2) (a), (b) and (e) of the Electricity
   Act 1992.

4. A brief description of the nature of the amendments
   follows:

Due to the system operator being required to enter into
ancillary service arrangements prior to 1 November 2004
in order to maintain common quality, the following
amendments to the Rules are made:

(a) A new term is included in Part A:

"transitional ancillary service arrangements"
means contracts for the procurement of ancillary
services entered into by the system operator
between 1 November 2003 and 1 November 2004
and which have effect for any part of
the period between the operational date and
1 November 2004, as approved by the board;

(b) A new Rule 2 is inserted in section V of Part I:

2. Transitional ancillary service arrangements
   The system operator may, with the approval of
   the board, enter into transitional ancillary
   service arrangements between 1 November
   2003 and 1 November 2004. Any such
   transitional ancillary service arrangements are
   deemed, for as long as the Rules in this section
   have effect, to be ancillary service
   arrangements as if they had been entered into in
   accordance with a procurement plan. In
   particular all costs associated with transitional
   ancillary service arrangements (including
   all amounts payable to ancillary service
   agents, system operator administrative costs,
   contributions from asset owners under Rule 7.3.1
   of section III of Part C and incremental costs
   under Rule 6 of section II of Part C) will be
   deemed to be allocable costs for the purposes of
   Rule 11.1 of section IV of Part C.

(c) Renumber the existing Rule 2 of section V of Part I
as Rule 3 of section V of Part I.

(d) Amend the definition of "existing ancillary service
arrangements" to:

"existing ancillary service arrangements" means
contracts for the procurement of ancillary
services entered into by Transpower which
come into effect on or before 1 November 2003
and which are in force as at the operational date;

4. The amendments are made in reliance on the urgency
   provisions in section 172E (3) of the Electricity Act 1992.

5. These Rules come into force on 1 March 2004.

6. Copies of the Rules may be inspected free of charge
   or purchased from the Electricity Governance Board (also
   known as the Electricity Commission), Level Seven, ASB
   Tower, 2 Hunter Street, Wellington, or from the offices of
   the Minister of Economic Development, 33 Bowen Street,
   Wellington.
