Pursuant to Regulation 196 of the Electricity Governance Regulations 2003, the Electricity Commission gives the following notice.
N o t i c e
1. Title and commencement—(1) This notice is the Electricity Governance Regulations (Exemption No. 47 (Meridian Energy Limited)) Exemption Amendment Notice 2008.
(2) In this notice, the Electricity Governance Regulations (Exemption No. 47 (Meridian Energy Limited)) Exemption Notice 2008* is called the “principal notice”.
(3) This notice comes into force on 1 May 2008.
2. Amendment to principal notice—(1) The principal notice provides Meridian Energy Limited (“Meridian”) an exemption from the requirement to comply with Rule 3.2 of Part D of the Electricity Governance Rules 2003.
(2) The principal notice is amended by revoking paragraph 3(a) (one of the conditions upon which the exemption was granted) and replacing it with:
“(a) It applies to all Meridian Energy Limited’s unmetered traffic control signals on Orion New Zealand Limited’s network for Christchurch city; and”
3. Reason for amendment—The reason for this amendment is that, without the exemption, Meridian would need to:
(a) reapply for a variation to the original exemption
for each new GXP added to Orion New Zealand Limited’s (“Orion”) network in Christchurch city; or
(b) fit a metering installation on each traffic light point of connection on Orion’s network in Christchurch city.
Dated at Wellington this 21st day of April 2008.
For and on behalf of the Electricity Commission:
DAVID CAYGILL, Chair.
