Join the Streamlining Connections team and experts from across the industry to help improve the efficiency of network connections of distributed energy resources (DER) and load across Aotearoa. It has been identified that there are currently challenges for prospective proponents wanting to connect new DER or large loads to distribution networks across Aotearoa, New Zealand. These issues include inconsistencies in connection processes between networks and a lack of clarity for proponents. As a result, the Electricity Authority (EA) are collaborating with the Electricity Networks Aotearoa (ENA) and the Electricity Engineers Association (EEA) on the Streamlining Connections Programme to improve the consistency and efficiency of network connections across the country. This includes, reviewing and updating Part 6 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010, establishing standardised technical settings and requirements for connection; and establishing common connection processes to be used by all EDBs. This work does not include connection pricing. In this workshop, we will outline the combined work plan of this project and we will be seeking your input and thoughts on our proposed work and any potential issues we should consider adding to our project to improve the connection process for DER and large loads into the New Zealand’s energy system. Hosted by EEA and supported by the Electricity Authority, Energy Network Aotearoa, Flexforum and FlexTalk. Workshop Highlights: This workshop is suitable for anyone working with connection arrangements or interested in distributed generation and participating in the electricity market. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of forming a more streamlined common connection process for Aotearoa. Seats are limited, register now to secure your spot!
