PLANNED OUTAGE CO-ORDINATION PROCESS

The Planned Outage Co-ordination Process (POCP) and the POCP database were jointly developed by electricity industry participants and Transpower, through a series of joint industry workshops during 2002/2003. A further series of joint industry workshops reviewed the POCP and the database in early 2006.

Under the POCP:

• Asset owners provide information about their planned outages;
• The System Operator assesses any potential conflict with its Principle Performance Objectives, based on the information provided, and publishes the results of the assessment;
• Any interested party may view both the planned outage data, and the results of the System Operator assessments, so that they are aware of planned outages that may require their consideration or action.

The POCP database supports the POCP by receiving, collating and publishing the planned outage data from asset owners, and is also used to publish the results of the System Operator assessments.

The POCP Users Guide (available here) has more detailed information about the POCP, and about using this database to access and/or upload data about planned outages.

You may only view and/or use the information shown in this database if you agree to the attached Disclaimer, or click "I Agree" below to indicate that you have read it previously and accept it.
