5 1. INTRODUCTION This report has been produced to meet the requirements of the Electricity Industry (Network Quality and Reliability of Supply) Code 2005, Schedule 1 Information to be published. To assist in meeting reporting requirements the Economic Regulation Authority Western Australia (ERA WA) publishes the Electricity Distribution Licence Performance Reporting Handbook which specifies measures to be reported. The report is prepared in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Code, however as Horizon Power is a vertically integrated business (responsible for generation, transmission and distribution) reliability data includes generation and transmission outages. 2. AUDIT REQUIREMENTS Division 3 of the Electricity Industry (Network Quality and Reliability of Supply) Code 2005 requires that Horizon Power arrange for an independent expert to audit, and report on the operation of the systems that Horizon Power has in place for monitoring its compliance with the code. In 2017, the Minister for Energy removed the requirement for licence holders, such as Horizon Power, to annually engage an independent expert to audit and report on the operation of the systems in place for monitoring compliance with legislated electricity quality and reliability standards. The audit period was extended to three yearly. DM# /18 Page 5 of 22

6 3. SCHEDULE 1 - INFORMATION TO BE PUBLISHED: Clause 4 and 10 Voltage Fluctuations and Harmonics Clause 4(a) Number of breaches of each provision of the Code: Quality of Supply 2016/ /18 Voltage fluctuations 0 0 Harmonics 0 0 Clause 4(b) Remedial action taken for each provision: Voltage Fluctuations Location N/A Action Taken N/A Harmonics Location N/A Action Taken N/A N/A = Not Applicable. Continuous monitoring of voltage and frequency fluctuations is done at the substation busbar. Temporary power quality monitoring equipment is installed on the network for specific problem monitoring in response to a customer power quality complaint. DM# /18 Page 6 of 22

22 5. APPENDIX Major Event Days Major event days are days in which interruptions affect the delivery of supply in a system and are not reasonably practicable to control such as extreme weather events (cyclones, fires and floods). These days are excluded from Sustained Interruptions used for reliability measurement and reporting. This report makes reference to the impact of major event days where they have had a significant impact on the statistics. Major Event Day Classification The classification of Major Event Days is to allow major events to be studied separately from daily operation, and in the process, to better reveal trends in daily operation that would be hidden by the large statistical effect of major events. A Major Event Day is a day in which interruptions affect the delivery of supply in a system that is not reasonably practicable to control. All indices are calculated based on removal of the identified Major Event Days. Interruptions that span multiple days are accrued to the day on which the interruption begins. Normalised Data Set - Unplanned Horizon Power uses Normalised data set to measure the management of incidents that are within the business control. Sustained Interruptions in Horizon Powers systems are those interruptions that result in a loss of electricity to customers for more than one minute in duration. Horizon Power s Normalised Data excludes interruptions where the interruption is not reasonably practicable to control such as: Customer installations/ appliances Planned outages/ disconnections Vehicle, machine or tool damage Wilful damage Damage due to events that Horizon Power cannot, so far as is reasonably practicable, control such as cyclones, fires and floods. As Horizon Power is a vertically integrated business (responsible for generation, transmission and distribution) reliability data includes generation and transmission outages. DM# /18 Page 22 of 22
