121: Process for Meridian and Genesis to recommend changes to permit conditions in respect of Waitaki Power Scheme

You could also call this:

“How Meridian and Genesis can ask for changes to Waitaki Power Scheme rules”

You can learn about how Meridian and Genesis, two companies, can suggest changes to the rules for the Waitaki Power Scheme. These companies need to work together with the consent authority to find and agree on changes that they think are needed. The changes should meet the goals set out in section 120 of the law.

The Minister can tell Meridian and Genesis when they need to give their suggestions by. Meridian and Genesis can give their ideas together or separately. They must give their suggestions to the Minister by the date the Minister sets.

After the Minister gets the suggestions, they need to tell the consent authority about them quickly. The Minister will also tell the consent authority when they can give their thoughts on whether these changes would keep the same effects on the environment as the current rules do.
