Pursuant to section 11 of the Electricity Industry Act 2010 ("Act"), the Electricity Authority gives the following notice.
N o t i c e
1. Title and commencement-(1) This notice is the Electricity Industry (Exemption No. 174 (N L & C E Wensley)) Exemption Notice 2013.
(2) This notice comes into force on the day after the date it is notified in the New Zealand Gazette.
2. Exemption-N L & C E Wensley ("Wensley") is exempted from compliance with the obligation in clause 15.7 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 ("Code") to provide monthly retailer electricity supplied information to the reconciliation manager for the following three installation control points ("ICPs"):
(a) 0000031475NT4F1;
(b) 0000003774NT9DB; and
(c) 0000042819NTC4A.
3. Term-This exemption expires on the date that Wensley becomes responsible for more than these three ICPs.
4. Reasons for granting the exemption-The reasons for granting this exemption are:
(a) granting the requested exemption meets the requirements in section 11(2) of the Act for granting exemptions;
(b) without the exemption, Wensley would incur disproportionately high administration and compliance costs providing the monthly total quantity of electricity supplied for these three ICPs;
(c) the electricity supplied information required under clause 15.7 is information that is not required for reconciliation purposes; and
(d) the exemption will have little impact on other participants and service providers, and will not affect any other Code provisions.
Dated at Wellington this 9th day of September 2013.
For and on behalf of the Electricity Authority:
DR THOMAS BRENT LAYTON, Chairperson, Electricity Authority.
