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.
