Advanced metering infrastructure [Closing date: 2007/08/10 17:00:00 GMT+12]
Posted 2 July 2007
The Commission is consulting on advanced metering systems and seeks feedback from stakeholders on this topic. The Commission has produced a discussion paper on the type of content to be included in potential guidelines for advanced metering as well as potential rule changes to facilitate the introduction of these systems.
Developments in new metering technology are moving rapidly, and systems with advanced features are becoming increasingly available. As electricity industry participants consider making investments in these new metering infrastructures, attention must be given to supporting New Zealand’s wider national energy objectives and customer interests, along with those of the electricity sector.
The discussion paper presents a high-level view of the present trends in metering systems as well as the attributes such systems currently offer. It identifies the benefits that could be expected from these new investments and preferred enduring attributes these systems should provide over time as specific systems are retired or updated.
The Commission invites submissions on the discussion paper by 5.00 pm on Friday, 10 August 2007. Please note that the closing date for this paper has been extended from 3 August 2007 to 10 August 2007.
The Commission’s preference is to receive submissions in electronic format (Microsoft Word). Submissions in electronic version should be emailed with ‘Advanced Metering Consultation’ in the subject header to info@electricitycommission.govt.nz.
