In planning for a shortage of supply, we have prepared and published a rolling outage plan.
Early 2016, through industry consultation, the System Operator updated the rolling outage plan and gained Electricity Authority approval in May 2016. The updated System Operator Rolling Outage Plan SOROP is effective from 19th June 2016.
The document below is the approved System Operator Rolling Outage Plan.

Approved Rolling Outage Plans
Preparedness to deliver on the plan is a continuous cycle and it is imperative plans are kept up to date.
Participants who have an approved rolling outage plan should forward any amended plans to the email address system.operator@transpower.co.nz. After receiving your revised outage plan, we will be in touch to work through the approval process.
The System Operator is currently developing a participant rolling outage plan template to assist relevant participants in the preparation of their plans. We will be working with industry in the coming months to ensure that this template is fit for purpose, and expect to finalise a template in the year.
