(Carter Holt Harvey Pulp and Paper Limited)) Notice 2007
Pursuant to Rule 8 of Schedule G9 of Part G of the Electricity Governance Rules 2003 ("Rules"), the Electricity Commission ("Commission") gives the following notice.
N o t i c e
1. Title and date-(1) This notice is the Electricity Governance Rules (Approval as Industrial Co-generating Station (No. 1) (Carter Holt Harvey Pulp and Paper Limited)) Notice 2007.
(2) This notice is dated 31 July 2007.
2. Approval-The following generating unit, owned by Carter Holt Harvey Pulp and Paper Limited ("CHH"), is approved as an industrial co-generating station in accordance with Schedule G9 of Part G of the Rules:
- Kinleith Mill Turbine Generator.
3. Condition-This exemption is granted on the following condition:
- The industrial co-generating station must comply with dispatch instructions if the system operator has issued a formal notice as defined in Part A of the Rules.
4. Reasons for granting the approval-The reasons for granting this exemption are:
(a) The system operator provided comments on the application and the condition noted above was added as a consequence;
(b) the plant fits the definition of industrial co-generating station as defined in Part A of the Rules. It derives its fuel source from a co-located industrial process, and the electricity produced by the co-generating station is used by that industrial process and a
by-product of the generation is then provided to that industrial process. Accordingly, the industrial process is dependent on the operation of the co generation plant;
(c) because of this close link between the on-site industrial process and the co-generation plant, the generator is unable to comply with the standard dispatch tolerance; and
(d) granting approval will, in accordance with the Commission's principal objectives and specific outcomes, encourage co-generation, thereby promoting and facilitating the efficient use of electricity and other resources. It will maintain
the efficient use of resources by continuing to allow CHH to fully utilise waste products for electricity generation. It will therefore maintain the incentives for co-generation.
Dated at Wellington this 31st day of July 2007.
