    Kawatiri Energy Ltd 212 Crawford Street PO Box 851 Dunedin, 9016 New Zealand By email: dmckinlay@scap.co.nz 9 October 2018 Submissions Electricity Authority P O Box 10041 Wellington By email: Submissions@ea.govt.nz Dear Electricity Authority Board members, RE: Consultation Paper – List of distributed generation eligible to receive ACOT, Upper South Island Kawatiri Energy owns and operates a 4.2MW hydro generating station at Lake Rochfort in the Buller region on the West Coast. This plant has storage and has been operating since 2013. Water comes into the storage lake from a number of tributaries along the Mt Rockfort range and the generation plant can operate at 100% capacity for 2.5 days from a position of full storage. The plant has a frequency governor and is able to support the entire Buller network outside of peak load periods as well as inject power into the transmission network. Kawatiri’s plant is significant in the Buller Electricity Limited (BEL) network. Distributed generation (DG) accounts for ~30% of maximum coincident MWs and GWh demand on that network1. Transpower2 explicitly includes Kawatiri generation in its planning for operating and maintaining the grid to the required standards. Kawatiri is a member of the Independent Electricity Generators Association Incorporated (IEGA) and support the IEGA’s submission. 1 Buller Electricity Limited 2018 Asset Management Plan. Maximum coincident demand on the network is 11MW made up of supply from DG of 3MW and supply from the grid at 8MW. For the year end 31 March 2019 BEL forecast DG to supply 16GWhs of total demand of 54GWhs.

  • Infracomm Strategy Submission July 2021
    2nd July 2021 New Zealand Infrastructure Commission (via website: https://infracom.govt.nz/strategy/have-your-say/) To whom it may concern, Submission to the Infrastructure Commission consultation on Aotearoa New Zealand Infrastructure Strategy The Electricity Networks Association (ENA) appreciates the opportunity to make a submission to the Infrastructure Commission on their consultation on Aotearoa New Zealand Infrastructure Strategy. This submission is on behalf of ENA’s members (listed in the appendix to this submission), the electricity distribution businesses (EDBs) of New Zealand. ENA is supportive of the proposed direction of the Infrastructure Commission’s strategy, as laid out in the consultation document. We have some specific comments on those few sections of the consultation document that directly touch on the interests of our members and the communities they serve. Proposed priorities We support priorities two (Getting the price right), and four (Supporting a zero-carbon economy and preparing for climate change) that the Commission has identified. As we expand upon later in this submission, pricing reform is a key tool for EDBs and other infrastructure providers to signal to consumers the optimal way in which to use the network service, and signals to third parties the value of support they can provide to the network. A reformed and enabling planning system is also critical to ensuring that electricity distribution infrastructure can be expanded and maintained to support New Zealand’s electrification and decarbonisation goals, and deliver the electricity services that New Zealanders will increasingly rely. Long term issues for electricity distribution infrastructure Looking to the longer term, two key issues will affect the ability of electricity distributors to meet the needs of consumers and the wider economy.
