✨ Transitional Support Agreement
2724 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 93 5 JULY 2011 21
SCHEDULE 3
AGREED CONTROL CENTRE RESPONSIBILITY
Control Centre Responsibilities
Due to the time the technical transition will take coupled with control functionality philosophies, not all operational functions will be able to be performed from the Genesis Energy Control Centre.
During the period when the Transitional Support Agreement (TSA) is in force, when individual components relating to operational control can be robustly carried out by GEL then those such components can be transferred from MEL to GEL’s responsibility to the point when MEL assistance in controlling functions related to the Tekapo Chain are no longer required.
Without having experienced staff transferred along with the stations, this transition period will give both companies confidence that the operational control of the Tekapo Chain will be carried out by competent operators. The following table outlining the split in responsibilities allows a period when both MEL and GEL Control Centre staff will be having real time dialogue about the plant which is all important in the transfer of knowledge to the incoming operators.
The table below briefly outlines the training and TSA timeline for both Control Centres.
