Populating the Electricity Commission Registry.

1. Distributor Price Category

The Distributor Price Category field will be populated with Electricity Ashburton's Pricing option for that particular Customer Group / Connection capacity. When the ICP is initially created on the Registry, the Price Category will be "POA" as at this stage the Price Category is unknown. Once the Price Category information becomes available, the Price Category will be updated.

2. Loss Factors

Current Loss Factors have a single factor that applies 24 hours per day. All Low Voltage sites have the same loss factor (L01) however Medium and High Voltage sites have individually allocated values. Current values and codes to be used in the population of the Distribution Loss Category field are listed in the following table:

 

Loss Category Description Loss Factor
Consumption Generation
L01 Low Voltage (230/400V) 1.073 1.000
M01 Medium Voltage (11/22 kV) 1.036 1.000
M02 Medium Voltage (11/22 kV) 1.030 1.000
M03 Medium Voltage (11/22 kV) 1.079 1.000
M04 Medium Voltage (11/22 kV) 1.048 1.000
M05 Medium Voltage (11/22 kV) 1.000 1.000
H01 High Voltage (66 kV) 1.000 1.020
U01 Upper Rakaia Embedded Network (230/400V) 1.013 1.013
