We assessed Orion's proposal for a customised price-quality path in 2013.
Orion's network area is bordered by the Rakaia and Waimakariri rivers and stretches from the Southern Alps to Banks Peninsula. Orion formally applied to the Commission on 20 February 2013 for a customised price-quality path (CPP).
Orion proposed to increase its maximum average prices and reduce its required quality standards over the five years commencing 1 April 2014. Orion’s proposal was intended to address the impact of the Canterbury earthquakes, including the recovery of additional costs, lower than expected revenues, and to fund future investment in its network.

Feedback received on process to set the customised price-quality path for Orion
Unless Orion seeks another CPP, it will transition to the 2015-2020 electricity default price-quality path in April 2019. This means that Orion will only be subject to the default path for one year.
