3 Exemption for generating works of 100 MW or less
In this clause —
connection point, in relation to generating works, means a point at which the generating works are connected to a transmission system or a distribution system.
A person is exempt from the Electricity Industry Act 2004 section 7(1) if —
in relation to the construction of generating works — the total generation capacity that the generating works will have is not more than 100 MW at each connection point after construction is completed; or
in relation to the operation of generating works — the generation capacity of the generating works is not more than 100 MW at each connection point.
The exemption provided for in subclause (2) is subject to the condition that, if the generating works are connected to a transmission system or distribution system of an electricity corporation that forms part of the SWIS, the metering of the supply of electricity from those works must be undertaken in accordance with the procedures and arrangements set out in the Electricity Industry (Metering) Code 2012.
