5 JULY 2011 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 93 2707

(a) allow Meridian access to the Stations, any other Genesis’ premises and Genesis’ personnel, in each case, as reasonably required by Meridian to enable Meridian to provide the General Services or the Specific Services (as the case may be) provided that Meridian shall:

(1) give Genesis reasonable prior notice of the date on which it will require access to the Stations; and

(2) comply with all reasonable instructions and directions from Genesis and with applicable health and safety policies in place at the Stations; and

(b) ensure that it is able to receive each General Service or Specific Service to be provided by Meridian under this agreement at the times set out in this agreement or Schedule 1 (or if no times are specified, at the time notified by Meridian to Genesis, having given Genesis reasonable prior notice).

3.3 Variation of General Services: The description and the other terms of the General Services set out in Schedule 1 may be amended at any time by a resolution of the Project Steering Group passed in accordance with Schedule 2. The parties shall procure that Schedule 1 is updated to reflect any such resolution.

  1. DISPATCH SERVICES

4.1 Phase I Dispatch Services: For the period of three (3) calendar months from the Settlement Time (or such shorter period as may be notified by Genesis to Meridian) ("Phase I"), Meridian shall:

(a) acknowledge and execute all dispatch instructions received from the System Operator in relation to the Stations unless Meridian considers, based on its prior knowledge of operating the Stations or its actual knowledge of any events affecting the operation of the Stations, that a material risk exists that an instruction is likely to:

    (i) cause damage to the Stations; or

    (ii)    endanger the safety of any persons,

    ("Material Risk").

If Meridian considers that the Material Risk exists in respect of an instruction, Meridian shall not be required to execute the relevant instruction and shall notify Genesis’ Tokaanu Control Centre as soon as possible of that fact (or, if Meridian is unable to notify Genesis’ Tokaanu Control Centre, Meridian shall notify the System Operator);

(b) notify Genesis’ Tokaanu Control Centre as soon as possible of any forced outages relating to the Stations which Meridian becomes aware of; and

(c) if a Genesis Tokaanu Control Centre Operator advises Meridian at any time of loss of alarms visibility at Tokaanu, then in addition to dispatching plant under clause 4.1(a), Meridian’s Twizel Control Centre shall take full responsibility for monitoring and actioning all Tekapo alarms by directly communicating with Genesis’ Tekapo site staff, until Genesis advises Meridian that it has been able to restore alarms visibility at Tokaanu,

("Phase I Dispatch Services").
