149: Interpretation for subpart

You could also call this:

“Explaining what "Transpower" means in this part of the law”

The law now includes a new part that explains something important. It says that when you see the word “Transpower” mentioned in a certain part of the law, it doesn’t just mean the company Transpower. It also means Transpower when it’s doing its job as the system operator for New Zealand’s electricity system. This job is given to Transpower by another law called the Electricity Industry Act 2010. This change helps to make sure that when the law talks about Transpower, it covers all the different roles that Transpower has.
