                Consultation
We consulted on the remaining elements of the design for spot market settlement on real-time pricing (RTP). We sought feedback on the following three design elements :
- full details of our proposal for ‘dispatch-lite’ (a form of dispatchable demand for smaller purchasers), now expanded to include distributed generation
 - the pricing that should apply during shortfalls in instantaneous reserve cover
 - a process for reviewing the dollar amounts assigned to the default scarcity pricing values.
 
We also sought feedback on the final draft of the proposed amendments to the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010.
See below for our consultation paper and the submissions received.
Following this consultation, we decided to implement RTP in the wholesale market on 28 June 2019: read the decision paper.
