Electricity Governance Regulations (Exemption No. 95 (Transpower New Zealand Limited)) Exemption Notice 2008

Pursuant to Regulation 194(2) of the Electricity Governance Regulations 2003, the Electricity Commission (“Commission”) gives the following notice.

Notice

1. Title and commencement—(1) This notice is the Electricity Governance Regulations (Exemption No. 95 (Transpower New Zealand Limited)) Exemption Notice 2008.

(2) This notice comes into force on the day after the date it is notified in the New Zealand Gazette.

2. Interpretation—A term that is used in this notice and is in bold has the same meaning as in the Electricity Governance Rules 2003 (“Rules”).

3. Exemption—Transpower New Zealand Limited, in its capacity as system operator (“system operator”), is exempt from compliance with the requirement in Clause 67 of Schedule C4 (policy statement) of Part C of the Rules to send written formal notices to all registered participants.

4. Terms and conditions—This exemption is granted on the following conditions:

(a) The system operator will send formal notices in writing to participants who:

(i) may be able to assist in the mitigation of the grid emergency; or

(ii) have a significant interest in the occurrence and nature of the grid emergency;

(b) the system operator will maintain distribution lists of participants who are to receive formal notices issued in writing, for any type of event;

(c) the system operator will ensure that the distribution lists described in paragraph (b) are updated to include or remove any participant, on request of that participant; and

(d) it will expire on 31 August 2009.

5. Reasons for granting the exemption—The reasons for granting this exemption are:

   (a) Rule 4.1 of Technical Code B of Schedule C3 of Part C of the Rules requires the system operator to issue formal notices in writing only to relevant participants, and thus Clause 67 of the policy statement should be aligned with this requirement;

   (b) unnecessary costs, in complying with Clause 67 of the policy statement, may be incurred with no apparent material benefit; and

   (c) based on the system operator’s current practice, there is no identified negative security or market impact on the overall scheme of the Rules or on participants, which would be caused by the granting of this exemption.

Dated at Wellington this 11th day of November 2008.

For and on behalf of the Electricity Commission:
