Replacement and enhancement of Connection Assets. (a) Where Transpower has identified a Connection Asset to which clause 40.1(c) applies: (1) the Customer may propose the use of a different value of Unserved Energy, for the purposes of applying the grid reliability standards under this clause from the value specified in clauses 8.3.4 and 8.4.3 of schedule F4 of section III of part F of the Electricity Governance Rules, to Transpower within 15 Business Days of receiving notice under clause 40.1; (2) if Transpower considers that the value of Unserved Energy proposed under subparagraph (1) is not reasonable, either it or the Customer may ask the Board to provisionally approve that value under rule 5.5 of section II of part F of the Electricity Governance Rules. If the Board does not provisionally approve the different value of Unserved Energy, the value of Unserved Energy under clauses 8.3.4 and 8.4.3 of schedule F4 of section III of part F of the Electricity Governance Rules applies; and (3) if Transpower considers that the proposed value of Unserved Energy is reasonable, or the Board provisionally approves the different value under rule 5.5 of section II of part F of the Electricity Governance Rules, that different value must be used in applying the grid reliability standards under paragraphs (b) to (d) below; (b) Transpower must as soon as practicable after identifying a Connection Asset to which clause 40.1(c) applies, investigate whether the Connection Asset meets the grid reliability standards (modified to take into account any different value of Unserved Energy that applies under paragraph (a)). (c) If Transpower finds that the Connection Asset does not meet the grid reliability standards (modified to take into account any different value of Unserved Energy that applies under paragraph (a)), it must develop proposals for investment in the grid to ensure that the Connection Asset meets the grid reliability standards (modified to take into account any different value of Unserved Energy that applies under paragraph (a)), and propose them to the Customer as soon as reasonably possible after the publication of the grid reliability report. (d) Transpower and the Customer must then attempt in good faith to reach an agreement, within six months of the date on which Transpower makes its proposals to the Customer under paragraph (c) or such longer period as agreed between the parties, for an investment or other solution (whether undertaken by Transpower or, subject to necessary land access being negotiated with Transpower, by the Customer or a third party in accordance with Good Electricity Industry Practice) that will have the effect of: (1) maintaining the level of reliability for the relevant connection location at the level of reliability in the grid reliability standards (modified to take into account any different value of Unserved Energy that applies under paragraph (a)); or (2) increasing or decreasing the level of reliability for the relevant connection location above or below the grid reliability standards (modified to take into account any different value of Unserved Energy that applies under paragraph (a)), subject to Transpower and the Customer complying with rules 5.1 to 5.3 of section II of part F of the Electricity Governance Rules. (e) If a different value of Unserved Energy from the value specified in clauses 8.3.4 and 8.4.3 of schedule F4 of section III of part F of the Electricity Governance Rules has been used under paragraphs (b) to (d) above, before giving effect to any agreement reached under paragraph (d) and regardless of whether or not the Board has provisionally approved the different value of Unserved Energy, either Transpower or the Customer must comply with rule 5.5 of section II of part F of the Electricity Governance Rules. (f) If Transpower and the Customer have not been able to reach an agreement under paragraph (d) above within six months of the publication of the grid reliability report, or such longer period as agreed: (1) unless sub-paragraph (2) applies, the Customer or a third party shall be entitled to carry out an investment in respect of the Connection Assets, subject to necessary land access being negotiated with Transpower, Good Electricity Industry Practice and, if applicable, compliance with rules 5.1 to 5.3 of section II of part F of the Electricity Governance Rules; or (2) Transpower may ask the Board to request that Transpower submit a grid upgrade plan in respect of the Connection Assets and, if the grid upgrade plan is approved, carry out the investment set out in the grid upgrade plan. For the avoidance of doubt, if the grid upgrade plan is not approved, the Customer or a third party may carry out an investment under sub-paragraph (1) above.
