In the lead-up to the Contingency Management Regulations being made, a group was convened by Contact Energy, and its role was to work towards a better understanding of the interdependencies between the electricity and gas sectors. Membership of the group was broad, covering gas transmission, electricity generation, electricity system operation (Transpower), the Electricity Commission and Gas Industry Co. Both Vector and Contact Energy undertook modelling work which was presented to that group and the outputs from that work are provided below.
