- Decisions Not to Declare Control
The Commission has determined that it is consistent with section 57E of the Act to not make a declaration of control under Part 4A in respect of electricity distribution services supplied by those electricity distribution businesses contained in Table 1, for the following reasons:
Alpine Energy Limited
- The breach of the reliability threshold during the 2006/07 assessment period is significantly reduced when the SAIDI and SAIFI values are normalised and there is evidence that an extreme weather event (a snow storm) disproportionately impacted its SAIDI and SAIFI, both directly during the event and indirectly from repairs of the resulting damage;
- the Commission’s 2004 review found Alpine’s network management and investment levels appeared to be satisfactory;
- Alpine’s reliability results do not indicate deterioration in its SAIDI or SAIFI performance against its thresholds. However, the Commission will continue to monitor both Alpine’s SAIFI and SAIDI statistics to identify any long term decline in reliability; and
- the Commission has no other section 57E concerns.
Aurora Energy Limited
- Aurora’s breach of its quality threshold during the 2006/07 assessment period is relatively minor, with only its SAIFI threshold breached by 0.07 times (4.4%) and does not indicate a deterioration in its network;
- the Commission has no other section 57E concerns.
