Submissions on voltage-related Code amendment proposal published

  • Generation
  • Code

We have published submissions on our proposal to amend Part 8 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010. The proposed amendment is to help address three aspects of a voltage-related problem identified in our common quality requirements review.

Addressing this will benefit consumers by, among other things, lowering the risk of power supply interruptions and electrical equipment not operating properly or being damaged.

We would like to thank all submitters for contributing feedback.
