NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 71 — 6 JULY 2017

reasons:

i. granting the exemption meets the requirements in section 11(2) of the Act for granting exemptions;

ii. without an exemption, Orion will:

A. incur unreasonable expenditure and complexity in fitting metering and communication equipment to its network for the relatively low consumption volumes on the interconnection point;

B. incur unreasonable expenditure in becoming a certified reconciliation participant;

C. incur unreasonable expenditure in submitting submission information for each reconciliation period; and

D. need to re-assess the viability of having the interconnection point as a back-up;

iii. the interconnection point is rarely used;

iv. although granting the exemption will have a financial impact on the retailers on BRY0661 and KAI0111, the continuous supply to the customers on BRY0661 and KAI0111 outweighs this financial impact; and

v. the exemption will have little or no impact on other participants (other than the affected retailers) and service providers and will not affect any other Code provisions;

b. although the Authority approved granting the principal exemption until 1 September 2017, re-assessment of the viability of the interconnection point as a back-up supports the continued use of an exemption;

c. although the Authority approved granting the principal exemption until there having been more than three outages in a year, extending this to six will enable Orion to better manage planned and unplanned outages that result in the use of the interconnection point;

d. it is therefore necessary to amend the principal exemption in order to:

i. provide additional time to investigate long-term alternatives to the exemption; and

ii. enable the interconnection point to be used more frequently; and

e. accordingly the Authority is satisfied that for the reasons set out in the principal exemption:

i. the amendment is necessary or desirable for the purpose of achieving the Authority’s objective under section 15; and

ii. the benefits of the amendment outweigh any disadvantage resulting from any increased administration and compliance costs.

Dated at Wellington this 28th day of June 2017.

For and on behalf of the Electricity Authority:
SUSAN PATERSON, ONZM, Member, Electricity Authority.
