1. Pursuant to section 172I of the Electricity Act 1992 (“Act”), I notify the amendment of the Electricity Governance Rules 2003 (“Rules”) under section 172H of
the Act.
2. The empowering provisions for the Electricity Governance Regulations, in relation to which the amendment to the Rules is made, are paragraphs (a) and
(b) of section 172D (1) (1) of the Act.
3. The amendment is to update Schedule D2 of Part D of the Rules by:
(a) inserting information regarding several new points of connection to the grid;
(b) deleting two superfluous and, in some cases, inaccurate, columns of information (“meter” and “location” columns); and
(c) amending other inaccurate data.
4. The amendment is made in reliance on section 172F (3) of the Act.
5. Pursuant to section 172Z (4) of the Act, the reason for my decision to amend the Rules is that the Electricity Commission is required under Rule 2.3 of Part D of the Rules to publish, from time to time, updates of the details
in Schedule D2 of Part D.
6. These rules come into force on 16 November 2006.
7. Copies of the Rules may be inspected free of charge or purchased from the Electricity Commission, Level Seven, ASB Bank Tower, 2 Hunter Street, Wellington. The Rules can also be viewed on the Electricity Commission web site:
