In August 2023, the Electricity Authority consulted on its draft determinations for two under-frequency events on 30 July and 7 October 2022.

Our final determinations are that:

  • Genesis Energy Limited was the causer of the under-frequency event on 30 July 2022
  • Transpower New Zealand Limited was the causer of the under-frequency event on 7 October 2022.
