New Zealand Experiments With Real-Time Electricity Pricing
LCG, October 15, 2002-M-co, New Zealand's electricity market operator, has begun operating a real-time wholesale electricity pricing system.Normally, New Zealand's wholesale electricity prices are calculated every 30 minutes, but M-co will now have the prices reported every 5 minutes.
