Electricity Industry Performance Code Direction Issued

The Utilities Commission has become aware that the Electricity Industry Performance (EIP) Code, and previously the Electricity Standards of Service Code, contains a number of anomalies. The known anomalies are isolated to Schedule 2 (Generation Services Performance Indicators) and Schedule 7 (Definitions and Interpretation).

Section 1.6 of the EIP Code provides that the Commission may issue a direction to an electricity entity regarding any matter related to the EIP Code. Furthermore, an electricity entity must comply with any direction (notified in writing) by the Commission to the electricity entity from time to time.

Accordingly, the Commission directs that any annual reporting against the EIP code is done in accordance with the direction below until a variation to the code is made or advised otherwise by the Commission.
