We have published submissions on our proposal to amend Part 8 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 to address increased frequency variability in New Zealand’s power system, caused by the growing amount of variable and intermittent resources including wind and solar generation.
We would like to thank all submitters for taking the time to send us your feedback.
