(v) providing the information system with information from the week-ahead dispatch schedule once it completes such a schedule;

(vi) removing the requirement for the System Operator to publish transmission capability limits as these are available elsewhere;

(vii) providing more flexibility for the System Operator to choose the level of reserve required between 0–100% when there are insufficient generation and reserve offers;

(viii) removing specific conditions under which the System Operator will procure over frequency reserves for the South Island, giving it more flexibility to determine when it will procure the service and more accurately reflecting operational procedures used in the dispatch of over frequency reserves;

(ix) identifying the restoration of load following a loss of supply as an event in which a grid emergency might arise;

(x) no longer requiring the System Operator to send formal notices to every participant, only to those the System Operator believes may be able to assist in mitigating a grid emergency or will have a significant interest in the occurrence and nature of the grid emergency;

(xi) no longer requiring the System Operator to send separate Demand Allocation Notices but to permit including them in the relevant formal notice; and

(xii) rewording various clauses to remove obligations on asset owners where those obligations are already stated in Part C of the Rules (the policy statement should contain only commitments made by the System Operator); and

(b) minor drafting amendments to various clauses, in reliance on section 172F(3) of the Act.
