Authority determines Māngere is a conforming grid exit point
- Wholesale
The Authority has reconsidered the status of the Māngere grid exit point (MNG1101) following a request from a purchaser and has determined that Māngere should be reclassified from a non-conforming to conforming.
We have determined MNG1101 to be conforming based on the methodology set out in Schedule 13.7 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code.
In practice, this means that purchasers at this GXP are no longer to prepare nominated bids. Instead, the system operator will now forecast the demand at this GXP.
This classification will come into effect at 12.00pm, Wednesday 11 June 2025.
All purchasers have the right to request a reconsideration of this and other determinations of grid exit point classifications (clause 13.27H) by email to info@ea.govt.nz
