854 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 31 12 MARCH 2009

a change from reconciliation on the basis of differencing to global reconciliation.

(e) That change distorted the seasonal adjustment shapes, causing the allocation of electricity into the wrong months. That would have resulted in inaccurate allocation of non half-hour electricity volumes between reconciliation participants, which would have financially disadvantaged participants that were incumbent retailers before 1 May 2008 compared with participants that were independent retailers.

(d) The urgent amendment to Part J of the Rules resolved the seasonal adjustment shape issue by minimising that distortion. That was achieved by requiring the reconciliation manager to calculate and issue one-off seasonal adjustment shapes for the period spanning 1 May 2008, and requiring all electricity volumes for that period to be reconciled using the one-off seasonal adjustment shapes (including all subsequent revisions).

(e) The amendment also ensured that non half-hour electricity volumes were settled on the basis of accurate information.

(f) There are no other reasonably practicable options that would achieve the objectives of the Rule amendment.
