EGBL, 30 September 2002 - Notice of Authorisation pursuant to Section 61(1)(a) of the Commerce Act 1986
Applicant: the Electricity Governance Board Limited PDF (234 KB) - On 7 December 2001 the Commerce Commission ("the Commission") received an application ("the Application") from the Electricity Governance Board Limited ("the Applicant") for authorisation under s 58 of the Commerce Act 1986 ("the Act") to enter into and give effect to an arrangement. The arrangement proposes to restructure and rationalise the basis under which electricity is traded and delivered by combining various existing market arrangements and integrating new arrangements into a single rulebook (the "Rulebook") and implementing various supporting agreements (collectively "the Arrangement"). The Applicant further defined the Arrangement in paragraph 6.6 of the Application. The Applicant sought authorisation to the extent the Arrangement contained characteristics specified in paragraph 6.7 of the Application.
- Determination pursuant to the Commerce Act 1986 in the matter of an application for authorisation of restrictive trade practices made by the Electricity Governance Board Limited PDF (2.3 MB)
- On 7 December 2001, the Commerce Commission ("the Commission") received an application ("the Application") from the Electricity Governance Board Limited ("EGBL" or "the Applicant") for authorisation in terms of ss 58(1), 58(2), 58(5) and 58(6) of the Commerce Act 1986 ("the Act") to enter into and give effect to an arrangement to which ss 27 and 29 of the Act may apply, namely an electricity market arrangement that proposes to restructure and rationalise the basis under which electricity is traded and delivered. This would be achieved by combining various existing market arrangements, integrating these into a single Rulebook ("the Rulebook") and implementing various supporting agreements (collectively referred to as the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement represents the industry response to Government policy that the industry develop a rationalised and improved basis for the trading and delivery of electricity.
On 5 February 2002, in response to concerns raised by the Commission and interested parties about the scope of the Application, the Applicant amended its Application ("the amended Application"). The amended Application sought authorisation:
(a) to enter into the Arrangement pursuant to ss 58(1) and 58(5); and
(b) to give effect to specified provisions including ancillary provisions which indirectly give effect to the specified provisions pursuant to ss 58(2) and 58(6).
Formulation of the Arrangement and the scope of the authorisation sought is discussed below.

The proposed Arrangement (as defined in the original application dated 7 December 2001) represents the outcome of a lengthy process of consultation amongst industry participants in response to the Government's requirement that the industry develop a contractual arrangement of its own making or face regulation, for which it has made provision already in the Electricity Amendment Act 2001.

In particular, the Commission assessed that the range of possible detriments overlaps with the range for possible benefits, ie. net benefits could be positive or negative (see Table 1).

- GreyPower Submission on: The Commerce Commission Determination on the Electricity Governance Board Application PDF (91 KB)
- While GreyPower supports the establishment of a governance board, it believes that the present application to the Commerce Commission is fatally flawed in a number of ways:
a) The fundamental objective of the board should be to ensure that the industry is as economically efficient as possible. Practical markets (such as exist in New Zealand) are not ideal free markets, and to that extent competition is not a guarantee of economic efficiency. Therefore the board should have powers to promote efficiency separately where this is desirable.
b) The function of the board should be to develop and implement policy, by providing an interface and a forum for debate between all the stakeholders: that is, government, the industry, and consumers.
c) The present application concentrates on administration of the existing and developing intra-industry agreements by means of a common rule book. This will preclude the board from fulfilling the functions noted in a) and b) above, and also severely inhibit its ability to respond to changes in the market environment.
d) The present intra-industry agreements support the competitive basis of the industry. This needs to be complemented with contestability, so that individual company's interpretations of the rules and regulations can be challenged. This requires the board to act as a forum in which these interpretations can be debated.
e) Economic efficiency comprises three component efficiencies: productive, dynamic and allocative. The industry agreements relate mainly to productive efficiency; it is assumed that competition will automatically promote the other two (but see a) above). The board's functions should cover all the component efficiencies. - Electricity Governance Board Limited: Application for Authorisation of New Rulebook PDF (96 KB)

Sustainable Energy Forum - Accommodating Distributed Resources In Wholesale Markets
PDF (81 KB) - Changes in electricity markets, in technology, economics, and regulatory structures, have created a new interest in small-scale generation and efficiency resources, dispersed throughout the lower-voltage networks. These "distributed" resources can provide cost-effective reliability and energy services, in many cases obviating the need for more expensive investments in wires and central generating stations. Given the unique features of distributed resources, the challenge facing policymakers today is how to structure wholesale markets for electricity and related services be structured so as to reveal the full value that they can provide to the system. Put another way, how can the markets be organized and managed so as to enable distributed resources to compete to the greatest extent possible?
This report offers answers to this question. It looks at the different functions that distributed resources ("DR") can perform and examines the barriers to them. It then identifies a series of policy and operational approaches to promoting DR in wholesale markets. -

and end-use efficiency. - Sustainable Energy Forum - The Competitive Market for Electricity in Australia: Why it Works so Well PDF (269 KB)

- Sustainable Energy Forum - Price Discrimination, Electronic Redlining, And Price Fixing In Deregulated Electric Power PDF (292 KB)
- To earn profits, companies in an industry with the cost and product characteristics of electric power must discriminate among customers. In short, this is because large fixed costs need to be spread over a large volume of sales, but achieving high volume through uniformly low prices leaves total costs not covered. The solution is to charge some customers more than average costs while reaching the necessary volume by selling to others at less
than average cost. The economic theory section below shows this unequivocally.
This report also shows that the targets of discrimination will be small
business and residential customers. Rather than benefiting from market forces in electricity, small business and residential customers will be forced to subsidize large customers. - Todd Energy - Submission on Electricity Governance Board Draft Determination - 27 May 2002 PDF (165 KB)
- As stated in our previous submission, our concerns of the proposed new rules relate to three main areas:
1. Single Mandatory Trading Arrangement
2. Governance Structure
3. Transmission
Todd Energy believes that it is critical that these issues are addressed appropriately in the new rules for the proposed structure to be successful. - William Hogan Comments - New Zealand Commerce Commission Draft Determination Electricity Governance Board Limited PDF (93 KB)
