Pursuant to section 52W of the Commerce Act 1986, the Commerce Commission (“Commission”) gives the following notice:

The Commission has amended the input methodologies applicable to the electricity transmission services provided by Transpower set out in the Transpower Input Methodologies Determination [2012] NZCC 17.

The amendment is set out in the Transpower Input Methodologies Amendment Determination [2015] (No. 2) NZCC [27].

The amendment makes two non-material changes to fill a gap in the input methodologies that arose because Bloomberg no longer publishes a New Zealand ‘A’ fair value curve. The amendment substitutes an equivalent reference set for the defunct Bloomberg reference set.

A copy of the amendment determination is available:

• on the Commission’s website at
  http://www.comcom.govt.nz/regulated-industries/input-methodologies-2/transpower-input-methodologies/
• for inspection free of charge at the Commission’s head office at 44 The Terrace, Wellington (during ordinary office hours)
• for purchase at a reasonable price at the Commission’s head office at 44 The Terrace, Wellington.

Dated this 22nd day of October 2015.

COMMERCE COMMISSION.
