✨ Transmission Network Pricing Principles
2488
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 92
4 JUNE 2008
• the costs of connection should as far as possible be allocated on a user-pays
basis
• the pricing of new and replacement investments in the grid should provide
beneficiaries with strong incentives to identify least-cost investment options,
including distributed generation, energy efficiency and demand management
options, and combinations of those options.
• pricing for new generation and load should provide clear locational signals
• sunk costs should be allocated in a way that minimises distortions to
production/consumption and investment decisions by grid users and
consumers
• the overall pricing structure should include a variable element that reflects the
marginal costs of supply in order to provide an incentive to minimise grid
constraints.
