Other consequences of being out of balance
25 Other consequences of being out of balance
For the purposes of this regulation, a user is materially out of balance in respect of an access agreement for a half hour if the difference between —
the energy entry amount for the group of connections in respect of that access agreement for the half hour; and
the energy exit amount for the group of connections for the half hour,
is more than the permitted tolerance for the group of connections.
If a corporation becomes aware that —
a user is materially out of balance in respect of one of its access agreements for a period; and
as a result, the operation of the electricity transmission network or the electricity distribution network as defined in the Electricity Distribution Regulations 1997 is likely to be materially adversely affected or persons with electrical installations connected to the electricity transmission network or the electricity distribution network as defined in the Electricity Distribution Regulations 1997 are likely to be materially adversely affected,
then, subject to subregulation (3), the corporation may interrupt or curtail the transfer of electricity to or from one or more of the group of connections in respect of that access agreement in order to remove or reduce that material adverse effect.
A corporation must give notice to a user of its intention to exercise its powers under subregulation (2) in relation to a connection of the user a reasonable time before doing so.
This regulation does not limit regulations 29 or 30.
