Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Energy and Resources): Yes. Transpower, as the system operator, monitors security of supply closely. These planned outages have been coordinated on the basis of this monitoring and Transpower's planning. The risks of inadequate capacity occurring have been highlighted in the worst-case scenarios modelling by Transpower. I am updated weekly on the current security of supply situation, and note Transpower's latest advice is that there remains a low likelihood of any physical security of supply issues. In the event that this is an issue, there are systems and processes in place to manage that. The current high-voltage direct current (HVDC) work has proceeded well and as expected. It expects that the HVDC will return to full capacity when the outages are completed ahead of Easter 2020. In the middle of 2019, I became aware there was a range of simultaneously planned outages for the first quarter of 2020. At that time, I sought reassurance from Transpower that their planned outage coordination process would minimise the risks for consumers and for security of supply, and Transpower later informed me that at least one planned outage had been rescheduled through this process and that the risks of security of supply were manageable. Subsequent to this, I asked for assurance from the Electricity Authority (EA) that the planned outage coordination process was performing optimally, and the EA and Gas Industry Co. subsequently began a review of the process, which is currently under way. I can assure the member that this is something I have taken a great deal of interest in.
