From this timeline, three things have become clear to me: the electricity market had clear warnings about the potential for the shortage situation; secondly, there was inadequate communication with the public about the situation; and, thirdly, there is enough capacity in the system. This led me to write to the large generators asking what action they took in response to Transpower's notice at 6.43 a.m. I also asked them to confirm with officials that they have confidence their companies are doing everything they can to maintain their generating capacity and ensuring security of supply. This is the number one priority for the electricity market. Since my letter this morning, Genesis has explained why it made a commercial decision not to operate one of its plants in response to the forecast shortfall.
