11/04/2017 - Exercise Interface

The CCO conducted its annual industry exercise - "Exercise Interface" on the 11/04/2017.

The exercise started at 9:00am and ran through until 4:00pm. The exercise simulated accidental damage to the First Gas Ltd Maui pipeline north of Pirongia resulting in an uncontrolled gas escape.  This resulted in the transmission pipeline system north of Pirongia being isolated for 24 hours while repairs were carried out.  In order to conserve linepack and pressure in the system, the CCO issued curtailment instructions affecting consumers in Bands 1 to 6.   

The CCO would like to thank all the participants involved in the exercise.
