Operation, maintenance and extension planning
31 Operation, maintenance and extension planning
The purpose of this regulation is to ensure that, so far as possible, outages of plant or equipment forming part of, or connected to, a corporation’s electricity transmission network are coordinated.
On or before 30 September each year, each user must provide to the corporation —
a maintenance schedule in respect of the plant and equipment connected at each of its connections for the following financial year; and
a non‑binding indicative planned maintenance plan in respect of the plant and equipment connected at each of its connections for each of the 2 financial years following the financial year to which the maintenance schedule provided under paragraph (a) relates.
A user must provide the corporation with any information that the corporation reasonably requests concerning maintenance of plant and equipment connected at the user’s connections.
A user must ensure that a maintenance schedule provided by the user under subregulation (2) is complied with, unless otherwise agreed with the corporation.
A maintenance schedule or a maintenance plan must —
specify the dates and duration of planned outages for the relevant plant or equipment which may have an impact on the electricity transmission network;
specify the work planned to be carried out during each such outage;
be in writing in substantially the form requested by the corporation; and
be consistent with good electricity industry practice.
If a user becomes aware that a maintenance plan provided by the user under subregulation (2) in respect of one of its connections will not be complied with, then the user must promptly notify the corporation.
