Promoting reliable electricity supply – Code amendment proposal on common quality-related information
Consultation
We are seeking feedback on a Code amendment proposal that that would ensure the System Operator has timely access to accurate information about assets connected to the power system.
We propose to amend the Code to:
- update and clarify the common quality-related information requirements in the Code, and
- incorporate a new system operation document containing technical specifications for the common quality-related information requirements.
The proposal follows on from our consultation Addressing common quality information requirements.
The options will be implemented in a staged approach, allowing us to first address immediate concerns. We will then turn our attention to developing solutions to enable the sharing of common quality-related information between the system operator and Transpower, as a transmission network owner, and with distributors.
We welcome your feedback on our proposal by 5pm, Tuesday 12 August 2025.
We plan to publish our decision on this proposal at the end of 2025.
