Notice of Making of Electricity Governance Amendment Rules (No. 55) 2007 and Notice of Reasons for Decision

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

2. The empowering provision for the Electricity Governance Regulations in relation to which the amendments to the Rules are made is section 172D(1)(1)(b) of the Act.

3. The nature of the amendment of Rule 11.5.3 of Section IV of Part C is to change the wording of the Rule to correct the definition of the receivers of under-frequency event rebates and to delete a superfluous extension of this definition to a special case of receivers.

4. Pursuant to section 172Z(4) of the Act, the reasons for my decision to amend the Rules are that the changes correct existing anomalies, align with current practice and cause the least disruption to related rules.

5. These Rules come into force on 27 September 2007.

6. Copies of the Rules may be inspected free of charge or purchased from the Electricity Commission, Level 7, ASB Bank Tower, 2 Hunter Street, Wellington. The Rules can also be viewed on the Electricity Commission’s website:
