Code amendment for system operation documents

  • Code

As part of the review of our consultation and feedback processes, we have decided to amend the Code to consolidate and align the provisions dealing with the review, consultation and amendment of system operations documents. These documents include the policy statement and the security of supply forecasting and information policy (SOSFIP).

The Code amendments include creating a section in Part 7 to detail the process for all documents and revoking the repeated processes from the other parts of the Code that enable each document. The Code amendments come into effect on 1 August 2023.

Read our decision paper for our response to submissions and a tracked-change version of the Code amendment. Our thanks to all who made a submission.
