In response to the Authority referring back some of Transpower’s components of its proposed variation to the TPM, Transpower resubmitted the HVDC charging component of its proposal (unchanged).
This component proposes to change the allocation of HVDC costs to South Island generators from a peak (MW) to an average (MWh) injection. We consider that the HVDC component should improve the operational efficiency of the electricity industry because it would address incentives for some South Island generators to inefficiently withhold generation capacity during periods when it’s needed .
Transpower recommends working with the Authority to develop a component to provide for de-rating the HVDC charge in relation to injection in the Upper South Island before any de-rating change could be introduced.
We accept there are significant design issues to address in relation to de-rating the HVDC charge in the Upper South Island before we could consider this component. Therefore, we are now consulting on the resubmitted HVDC component.
