2. The empowering provision for the electricity governance
   regulations in relation to which the Rule is made is section
   172D (1) (3) of the Electricity Act 1992.

3. A brief description of the nature of the amendments is as
   follows:

● The recommended amendment to the Rules changes the
way that event charges are calculated by inserting an
administered event charge rate of $1,250.00 per MW per
event into the Rules.

4. Pursuant to section 172Z (4) of the Electricity Act 1992,
   the reasons for my decision to amend the Rules are that:

● the current approach to setting the under-frequency event
charge rate results in excessive and unstable event charges
and this is likely to distort asset owner decisions leading
to perverse market outcomes;

● the amendment will remove the inherent uncertainty and
instability currently associated with under-frequency
event charges by fixing the event charge rate in the
Rules; and

● event charges will be more consistent with actual
interruption costs so that participants will be incentivised
to factor external costs they could impose on the market
into their investment and operational decision making.

5. These Rules come into force on 1 August 2005.

6. Copies of the Rules may be inspected free of charge or
   purchased from the Electricity Commission, Level Seven,
   ASB Bank Tower, 2 Hunter Street, Wellington.
   The Rules can also be viewed on the Electricity Commission
