Upper & Top South Island Security

Introduction

The System Operator is facilitating the electricity industry's co-ordinated approach to manage any security of supply issues that might arise for the South Island Region north of the Waitaki Valley.

Live Load Data

The live load data information is available for the duration of the South Island transmission tactical upgrade program.

Due to the location of recording equipment at some sites, the load split between retailers for these zones is indicative only.

The information in these tables is updated every five minutes.
