Reminder: Stress test disclosure due no later than 23 December
- Wholesale
- Compliance
The stress testing regime requires certain participants in the wholesale electricity market to test their exposure to changes in spot electricity prices and report the results each quarter.
The next set of disclosures are due no later than 23 December.
Disclosing participants need to report the results to their Board and to NZX (as the independent registrar appointed by the Electricity Authority).
Aggregated stress test results are available on the EMI website.
The stress test notice has been updated.
The amendments aim to clarify that a Consumer Price Index adjustment should not be applied for the capacity shortage stress test.
