Minor proposed changes to the reconciliation rules [Closing date: 2008/07/11 17:00:00 GMT+12]

Posted 13 June 2008

The Electricity Commission invites submissions on the consultation document "Minor proposed changes to the reconciliation rules”.

The new reconciliation rules (Reconciliation Rules) became effective on 1 May 2008. They were notified by the Minister of Energy pursuant to section 172H of the Electricity Act 1992 by Gazette notice on 7 November 2006.

The Reconciliation Rules are reflected in the new part J of the Rules and significant, but less substantial, amendments were made to parts A, D, E, G and H of the Rules.

The Reconciliation Rules were implemented to ensure that the Rules reflected the recommendations for enhancing the reconciliation system, contained in the Electricity Commission’s Reconciliation Implementation Project Team final report.

As a result of the implementation phase of the project, the Commission proposes changes to several parts of the Reconciliation Rules.
