Electricity Security of Supply
Security of supply in New Zealand's electricity industry has
been a recurring fundamental issue.
Tony has been closely involved in public
policy settings relating to security of supply risks, including
- The Government's response to the 1992
hydro shortage, which included more efficient signals in
relation to available capacity and fuels stocks, relevant
hydro data, and expected demand. [A copy of relevant papers
is available on request]
- Between 1995 and 1998, working with ECNZ,
John
Culy, and officials on alternative mechanisms for addressing
security of supply in a competitive market. [A copy of this
work is available on request]
- Developing the 1996 and 1998 Government
Policy Statements on security of supply. The 1998 policy
statement, which called for market participants to take
responsibility for security risks and more efficient hedging,
is set out in Part D of the Government's 1998 reform package,
"A
Better Deal for Electricity Consumers"
- In 2004, preparing with Concept
Consulting and
John Culy a report for the Electricity Commission -
"Tendering
for reserve energy" - to implement elements of
the 2004 Government Policy Statement
- In 2004, preparing with Concept
Consulting a report for the Electricity Commission -
"Developing
emergency security of supply provision" - to implement
other elements of the 2004 Government Policy Statement
- In 2005, advising the Electricity Commission
on the nature and scope of its legal obligations in relation
to security of supply. Tony's report integrated legal, policy,
and technical analysis, and was peer reviewed by Richard
Clarke QC
- In 2007, making a submission to the Electricity
Commission on the
legal framework relating to security of supply
