Top Energy and Ngāwhā Generation exemption 2017
Decision
We have decided to grant an exemption, with conditions, to both Top Energy Limited and Ngawha Generation Limited, from complying with arm’s-length rules 9 and 10 of the Electricity Industry Act 2010 for Top Energy’s involvement in Ngawha, and vice versa.
As part of granting this exemption we will revoke Top Energy’s existing exemption (decision no. 603) granted under the Electricity Industry Reform Act 1998.
In making this decision, we have considered comments received (see submissions below) on the draft decision paper.
Our final decision paper includes our responses to concerns raised and explains the reasons for granting this exemption.
