Commerce Commission—Notification of Non-material Amendments to Default Price-Quality Path Determination 2017 for Gas Transmission Services

Under section 52Q of the Commerce Act 1986 (“Act”), the Commerce Commission (“Commission”) gives notice that it has made non-material amendments to the Gas Transmission Services Default Price-Quality Path Determination 2017 [2017] NZCC 14 (“principal determination”).

The amendments are set out in Gas Transmission Services Default Price-Quality Path (Non-material) Amendments Determination 2018 [2018] NZCC 22.

These non-material amendments correct typographical errors:

  • made in Schedule 4 of the principal determination, where the “forecast net allowable revenue” values were incorrectly expressed as hundreds of thousands, rather than hundreds of millions; and
  • made in Schedule 8 of the principal determination, where the time value of money adjustment for the “closing wash-up account balance” was incorrectly not squared.

These non-material amendments come into effect on the date of this notice.

Copies of the amendments determination and a note explaining our non-material amendments are available on the Commission’s website at

https://comcom.govt.nz/regulated-industries/gas-pipelines/gas-pipelines-price-quality-paths/gas-pipelines-default-price-quality-path/20172022-gas-default-price-quality-path

and are available for inspection free of charge at the Commission (during ordinary office hours), or for purchase at a reasonable price at the Commission, 44 The Terrace, Wellington.

Dated this 18th day of December 2018.
