Draft CCMPs
Before submitting a critical contingency management plan (CCMP) for approval, transmission system owners (TSOs) are required to consult on a draft of the proposed plan with persons representative of the interests of those likely to be affected by the CCMP.
Immediately before this consultation, TSOs must provide a draft of the CCMP to the industry body to be published on their website.
Gas Industry Co has received draft CCMPs from Maui Development Ltd and Vector Gas Transmission, which are available to view or download by clicking on the links below. Please note that submissions on the draft plans should be made directly to the relevant TSO.
