Electricity Industry Participation (Minor Amendments) Code Amendment 2012
The Authority has gazetted a technical and non-controversial amendment to the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010. The amendment comes into force on 21 September 2012. It makes various minor amendments to the Code, including:
replacing the term 'extended emergency situation' with 'EMP departure situation' to more accurately reflect the meaning of the term;
more clearly describing the purpose of the system security forecast prepared by the system operator;
clarifying timeframes and dates;
amending the requirements for approval as a class A approved test house; and
correcting various typographical errors and inaccurate cross-references.
This amendment is available at:
