The FTR manager submitted a proposed variation to the FTR Allocation Plan on 6 May 2016. We have considered the proposed variation and propose further changes in order to:

• consider the hub requirements of potential FTR traders that are not FTR participants
• have regard to our existing work plan and available appropriations.

Submissions close at 5 pm on Tuesday, 13 September 2016.

• Consultation paper

In Market Brief on 28 June, we announced our work programme for 2016/17, which included a re-oriented structure for our market development programmes. We have now refreshed the grouping of projects on our website to reflect this new structure. 

The new market development programmes are:

• evolving technologies and business models
• consumer choice and competition
• pricing and cost-allocation
• risk and risk management
• operational efficiencies.

Please note that when we moved existing projects to their new programmes, the links to those project webpages changed. Automatic re-directs are in place for the most viewed pages, meaning you will be automatically redirected to the new webpage if you click on an old link. However, there is a possibility that some links and bookmarks may not work anymore—we suggest you review your bookmarks and update where necessary. 

If you are unable to find a specific project page that has been moved, email the old link to info@ea.govt.nz with ‘Link assistance’ in the subject line and we will be able to assist you.
