TPM Options Consultation
This consultation sought feedback on our initial thinking on options for the benefit-based charge (BBC) and for adjustments to the BBC and residual charges (Adjustments), both mandatory components of the new TPM. The BBC and Adjustments components are inter-related, so we consulted on them jointly.
Although this consultation package included our initial thinking, we have not formed a final view on what we will include in the proposed TPM we submit to the Electricity Authority. Submissions and cross-submissions have now been published below, and will inform our TPM proposal.
Please email us at tpm@transpower.co.nz if you have questions. We are also continuing to publish questions and answers here.
Consultation documents
Our consultation comprised three papers:
- Part A: Overview
- Part B: Benefit-based charge
- Part C: Adjustments to charges
We also supplied two supporting documents:
- Large-format diagrams - These key diagrams show detail on the TPM components under consultation. Small versions are used throughout the consultation documents as signposts, and readers may find this larger copy useful for reference. We recommend printing at A3 size.
- Question document - As with our previous TPM consultations, we have compiled the specific questions we pose throughout the consultation into a Word document, to aid submitters in preparing responses.
