ΔCPI_T is the average change in the consumer price index over the 12
month period that ends on 31 March during calendar year T
(calculated in accordance with the following expression):
ΔCPI_T = CPI_Q2,T-1 + CPI_Q3,T-1 + CPI_Q4,T-1 + CPI_Q1,T
---------------------------------------------------------- - 1
CPI_Q2,T-2 + CPI_Q3,T-2 + CPI_Q4,T-2 + CPI_Q1,T-1
where CPI_Qj,y is the consumer price All Groups Index SE9A
figure published by Statistics New Zealand for the quarter j in
the calendar year y;
(b) notional revenue during the assessment period: the notional revenue of
Transpower at any time during the assessment period is not to exceed the
greater of the allowable notional revenue of Transpower at the assessment

EV adjustment charges) of Transpower at the reference date under clause 5

the Commission with evidence that the restructuring, of itself, did not create an
increase in revenue for Transpower, then subclause (1) will apply as if the new
price structure applied on and from the reference date.
(3) If, during the assessment period, fixed assets used for providing specified services
(or rights to such assets) are transferred between Transpower and a distribution
business, and Transpower provides the Commission with evidence that the
transfer, of itself, created a decrease in revenue for Transpower equal to the
transmission charge previously applicable to those assets, then subclause (1) will
apply as if the transfer occurred on the reference date.
(4) Despite the other provisions of this clause 5, if the Commission is satisfied that,
because of lack of information or subclauses (1) to (3) being clearly meaningless

has complied with those subclauses, Transpower will be regarded as having

subclauses, that the substance of those subclauses has been complied with.
