Electricity Commission

Electricity Act 1992

Notice of Recommendation and Assessment Concerning the Electricity Governance Rules 2003—Rule Amendment Proposal No. 147, 2009

1. This notice of a recommendation and assessment concerning the Electricity Governance Rules 2003 (“Rules”), Rule Amendment Proposal No. 147, 2009, is issued by the Electricity Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to section 172E(2)(c) of the Electricity Act 1992 (“Act”).

2. The Act provides that, no later than 10 working days after making a recommendation to the Minister of Energy and Resources (“Minister”) concerning the Rules, the Commission must publicise the recommendation and the assessment completed under section 172F of the Act.

Recommended Amendments to the Rules

3. On 2 July 2009, the Commission recommended that Schedule C4 be replaced.

4. The recommended amendments to the Rules were:

   (a) the replacement of the existing policy statement in Schedule C4 in Part C of the Rules with a new Schedule C4. The key changes from the current policy statement include:

   (i) publishing temporary security constraints applied to schedules where those constraints have reached the “constraint percentage threshold” once new market systems are implemented. Publication will be within 10 minutes of completion of the relevant schedule rather than from the application of the constraint to the database;

   (ii) publishing grid asset outage information used in the preparation of market schedules rather than within its publication of branch constraint information;

   (iii) issuing a grid emergency notice if the System Operator considers a grid reconfiguration is required to mitigate a situation;

   (iv) using reasonable endeavours to begin the preparation of a new security schedule at least once every two hours;
