1. On 22 December 2005, pursuant to section 172I of
the Electricity Act 1992, I notified an amendment to the Electricity Governance Rules 2003 (“Rules”) under section 172H of the Electricity Act 1992 (New Zealand Gazette,
22 December 2005, No. 210, page 5383) (“principal notice”).
2. The principal notice amended the Rules by inserting a new Schedule F3A – Core Grid Determination (“Schedule F3A”) into Section III of Part F of the Rules.
3. On 16 January 2006, the Chair of the Electricity Commission advised me that Table 1 of Schedule F3A, as notified in the principal notice, contained errors.
