Contingency Plan Security of Supply Participant Rolling Outage Plan 1. INTRODUCTION This plan was written to comply with the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010, Part 9 Security of Supply. The procedures outlined are in response to major generation shortages and/or significant transmission constraints. Typical scenarios include unusually low inflows into hydro- generation facilities, loss of multiple thermal generating stations or multiple transmission failures. How an event is declared and how the System Operator should communicate its requests are detailed. The main energy saving measure listed is rolling outages and how these are structured and implemented is discussed. 2. PURPOSE Under the Code, participant rolling outage plans (PROP) are required to specify the actions that would be taken to; a) be consistent with the system operator rolling outage plan; and b) comply with the requirements specified in the notice sent under clause 9.6(2)(a) of the code; and c) specify the actions that Orion will take to achieve, or contribute to achieving, reductions in the consumption of electricity (including any target level of reduction of consumption of electricity in accordance with criteria, methodologies, and principles specified on the system operator rolling outage plan) to comply with a direction from the system operator. Reducing demand by disconnecting supply to customers would be a last resort after all other forms of savings including voluntary savings had been exhausted. Orion will always endeavour to keep supply on to customers. 3.

BACKGROUND 4.1 ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY The Authority is an independent Crown entity responsible for the efficient operation of the New Zealand electricity market. Core functions of the Authority are to: • make and administer the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (Code) governing the New Zealand electricity market; • monitor and enforce compliance with the Code, various regulations, and the Act; 4.2 TRANSPOWER Transpower is a State Owned Enterprise, tasked with owning and operating New Zealand’s National Grid - the network of high voltage transmission lines and substations that connect areas of generation with town and cities across the country. As System Operator, Transpower manages the real-time operation of New Zealand's electricity transmission system. It keeps the right amount of energy flowing to match generated supply with demand. 4.3 ORION Orion is the electricity network company that owns and maintains the electricity lines and cables that deliver power to the Christchurch and Central Canterbury region between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers. 5. RANGE OF EVENTS Events that could lead the System Operator to make a Supply Shortage Declaration can in general terms be categorized as; • Developing (Category A) Event – Events that evolve over time, for example low hydro lake or fuel levels. • Immediate (Category B) Events – Events that occur with little or no warning, usually as a result of a transmission line or major generation failure.
