Although this letter relates to the broader topic of Gas Transmission Balancing, we include a link to it here since it refers to the October 2011 MPOC Change Request and related matters. The letter is in response to a request made by (then) associate Minister of Energy and Resources, Hon Pansy Wong, in September, 2010, that Gas Industry Co provide a update on Transmission Pipeline Balancing matters. In the letter we advise the (now) Minister of Energy and Resources, Hon Phil Heatley, that a number of industry initiatives are underway and, given the high level of activity, suggest that these should run their course before determining the next step. We propose to provide the Minister with a further update after 1 June 2013.
