The amendments would apply these service measures
and levels at the point of service level. Transpower
would also be required to provide estimates of the
expected performance for connection assets up to
the point of connection on request;

(b) amendments to the benchmark agreement and Section
II of Part F of the Rules, including the insertion of
a new Schedule F2A in Part F, to provide for a

not have to separately report on the performance of
connection and interconnection assets;

the benchmark agreement and Part A of the Rules;

(d) amendments to section II of Part F of the Rules
