Introduction

The Wind Generation Integration Project (WGIP) made a number of recommendations to integrate wind generation into New Zealand’s power system, particularly in relation to the provision of accurate pre-dispatch information and the ability of the power system to handle large scale unpredicted changes in wind generation.  The Commission has established the Wind Integration Project (WIP) to develop appropriate arrangements
