Pursuant to Regulation 194 and 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 (Revocation of Exemption No. 89) Notice 2009.
(2) This notice comes into force on 30 July 2009.
2. Revocation of previous exemption-The Electricity Governance Regulations (Exemption No. 89 (System Operator)) Exemption Notice 2008* and the Corrigendum-Electricity Governance Regulations (Exemption No. 89 (System Operator)) Exemption Notice 2008Å are revoked.
3. Reasons for revoking Exemption No. 89-The reasons for this revocation are:
(a) immediately on the implementation of the system operator's market systems project ("MSP"), the system operator will not be able to partially dispatch instantaneous reserves during a period of a shortage of energy offers and/or reserve offers. Instead, the system operator will be able to comply with Clause 33.1 of Schedule C4 of Part C of the Rules in these circumstances; and
(b) to clarify how the system operator will dispatch reserves in the event of a shortage of energy and/or reserve offers it is appropriate that the exemption be revoked.
Dated at Wellington this 22nd day of July 2009.
For and on behalf of the Electricity Commission:
DAVID CAYGILL, Chair.
