✨ Electricity Reliability and Price Path Assessments
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 186
14 DECEMBER 2009
Network Waitaki Limited
-
Although Network Waitaki’s reliability results from 2003/04 to 2006/07 do indicate a deterioration in its performance against its thresholds, based on level of growth the network is experiencing and the findings of the engineering report provided by PBA, the Commission considers the explanation for Network Waitaki’s breaches of the quality thresholds as acceptable;
-
The Commission will continue to monitor both Network Waitaki’s SAIFI and SAIDI statistics to identify any further long term decline in reliability; and
-
the Commission has no other section 57E concerns.
Orion New Zealand Limited
-
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’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.
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; and
-
the Commission has no other section 57E concerns.
Top Energy Limited
-
The price path breach during the 2006/07 assessment period was caused by an overestimation of the CPI, which resulted in a lower than expected allowable notional revenue.
-
Top Energy returned the full amount of the breach back to consumer through its retailers. The Commission considers that Top Energy appropriately dealt with the breach; and
-
the Commission has no other section 57E concerns.
