Local Quality Agreements

The Electricity Commission’s Common Quality Advisory Group proposed that the EGRs should require publication of “Local Quality Agreements” (LQAs). The intention was to provide greater transparency when voltages were managed to higher (tighter) limits than the default AOPO limits in Part C.

However, both Transpower and the System Operator have agreed to publish the transitional LQA agreement that parties entered into just before the EGRs became effective. This is intended to negate the need for a rule change. Publication of this agreement and the schedule will considerably improve transparency for Asset Owners on the voltage profiles the System Operator manages for agreed parts of the grid.
