The Electricity Commission (the Commission) is requesting proposals from parties that the Commission could contract with for the provision of short-term reserve energy options. Such options can be in the form of a reduction in electricity consumption, or additional generation supply (Reserve Energy).
This request for proposal (RFP) is being undertaken as a contingency measure to reduce the strain on the electricity system, being caused by the lower than average hydro storage situation.
The RFP closed on 7 July 2008.
