Policy Statement and Procurement Plan amendment processes

Consultation period: 11 September 2012 to 24 October 2012 5:00pm

About this consultation

The Authority and system operator consider there are opportunities to improve the process by which the policy statement and procurement plan are reviewed and amended. In response, and in discussion with the system operator, the Authority has developed a more flexible and efficient review process. At the suggestion of the system operator the Authority has also included Code amendments relating to certain aspects of the required contents of the procurement plan.

As the review process is prescribed in the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (Code), the Authority is now consulting on a Code amendment to give effect to its proposal.
