2012/13 planning and reporting

Feedback was incorporated from consultation on proposed appropriations and work priorities from 29 November 2011 to 9 January 2012.

The work programme reflects the ten key projects listed in the foreword to the 2012 2015 Statement of Intent, plus a significant new project to address improving pricing efficiency when a generator is pivotal. These are the top priority projects in the attached work programme.

In the normal course of events it is anticipated that reprioritisation will be required during the year, for example as the information available about specific project develops, and new risks or issues come to the Authority's attention.

Our work programme

The Authority's Statement of Intent, covering the period 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015, was published on 28 May 2012.

Statement of Intent

These sessions were an Advisory Groups' forum and a CEOs and representatives' forum.

The first step in the planning process, completed in July - September 2011, was assessing public and electricity sector's views related to the competition, reliability and efficiency (CRE) aspirations by conducting a survey of consumers, and a survey of investors and industry participants.

Note regarding surveys: The Authority will repeat these surveys in the future. The survey questions will be reviewed prior to re-running the surveys including addressing matters raised in regard to the wording of some of the initial questions.
