(Disclosure Under Requirement 21)

2008/09 2007/08 2006/07 2005/06
1. Total number of unplanned interruptions
Resulting from 64 loss of supply incidents in 2008/09 112 115 104 148
2. Electricity customer interruptions in system minutes
Planned 2.0 3.3 3.3 2.8
Unplanned 16.1 24.6 8.4 38.0

Underlying interruptions are those interruptions of one system minute or less duration
Planned 0.9 2.1 2.2 1.5
Unplanned 4.9 4.7 4.1 7.2
4. Average supply reliability (%)
Measured by the energy supplied divided by the sum of the energy supplied and not supplied 99.9946 99.9919 99.9965 99.9879
5. Uneconomic generation due to planned and unplanned transmission system unavailability (%) - - - -
6. Uneconomic generation due to HVDC system unavailability (%) - - - -
7. Uneconomic generation due to unplanned transmission system unavailability (%) - - - -
8. Planned interruption restoration performance (%) 76.7 73.1 73.1 72.2
9. Unplanned interruption response (%) 100.0 100.0 99.0 100.0

Notes

a. The information compiled using estimated information includes Part 6 sections 2, 3 and 4. The methodology used to calculate the estimated information is documented and available from Transpower upon request.

b. The reliability performance measures given in Part 6 do not include the performance of the 34kV or circuit leased to other parties because Transpower does not collect operational data for these assets.

c. Where two supply voltages, or two customers, at the same station are both interrupted this is counted as two interruptions.

c. System minutes of interruptions do not include energy made up by backfeed from another point of supply or by embedded generation within a customer's network.

d. Uneconomic generation (Part 6 sections 5, 6 and 7) is not relevant in the market environment because scheduling is now based on offered price, not economic cost. In the market, 'offers to generate' are made after taking constraints into account and it is not possible to predict what a generator would have offered if the constraint was not present. As a result data is not available to allow a calculation and a null entry has been returned.
