11 April 2024 under-frequency event

We are seeking feedback from generators, the grid owner and other participants who may be substantially affected by the Authority’s draft determination that Genesis, as the generator which owns Huntly Unit 4, was the causer of the UFE at 12:25am on 11 April 2024.

The Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (Code) requires the Authority to consult with every generator, grid owner and other participant substantially affected by a UFE event in relation to a draft determination.

The Authority will consider all submissions received and publish its final determination. The Code sets out provisions relating to any disputes regarding the Authority’s determination. These requirements and provisions are in clause 8.62 of the Code.

Our preference is to receive submissions in Microsoft Word in the format shown in Appendix B to compliance@ea.govt.nz by 5pm on Thursday 22 August 2024.

If you cannot send your submission electronically, please contact the Authority at compliance@ea.govt.nz or 04 460 8860 to discuss alternative arrangements.

Please note the Authority intends to publish all submissions it receives. If you consider that the Authority should not publish any part of your submission, please:

• indicate which part should not be published and explain why, and
• provide a version of your submission the Authority can publish (if we agree not to publish your full submission).
