29 SEPTEMBER 2008 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 146 3971

  • the Commission considers that Orion appropriately dealt with the interim rebate by returning the full amount, plus interest, to its customers;

  • in the 2006/07 assessment period, the SAIDI reliability threshold is no longer exceeded after removing the effects of extreme events – Orion is within Safe Harbour for this breach;

  • Orion did not breach its quality threshold in 2007/08;

  • Orion’s reliability (SAIDI and SAIFI) results do not indicate a deterioration in its network reliability against its thresholds; and

  • the Commission has no other section 57E concerns.

Powerco Limited

  • The price path breach during the 2006/07 assessment period was solely caused by the interim rebate provided by Transpower;

  • the Commission considers that Powerco appropriately dealt with the interim rebate by returning the full amount, plus interest, to its customers; and

  • the Commission has no other section 57E concerns.

Scanpower Limited

  • Scanpower’s price path breach during the 2004/05 assessment period was caused by a combination of differences between budgeted and actual pass-through transmission costs, and a pricing structure not being in place for the full 12 month period;

  • the price path breach during the 2005/06 assessment period was solely caused by differences between budgeted and actual pass-through transmission costs;

  • Scanpower has initiated a pricing strategy that will return the full amount of the 2004/05 and 2005/06 breaches to its customers, by achieving a notional revenue deliberately lower than its allowable notional revenue;

  • the price path breach during the 2006/07 assessment period was solely caused by the interim rebate provided by Transpower;

  • the Commission considers that Scanpower appropriately dealt with the interim rebate by returning the full amount, plus interest, to its customers;

  • although the trend in Scanpower’s reliability results may indicate deterioration in its SAIFI performance against its threshold;

  • the Commission is satisfied that this is not a material deterioration in quality but will continue to monitor both Scanpower’s SAIFI and SAIDI statistics to identify any long term decline in reliability; and

  • the Commission has no other section 57E concerns.
