Dear Official Information Requests,
Thanks for the response.
Regarding my question "I request information on what stage FENZ is at with procuring Type 4
appliances? With a large number of these coming up to or over 20 years old, what is
FENZ doing to replace these to ensure public confidence in their type 4 fleet?"
Your response doesn't really answer my question.
On the 17th of October 2023 FENZ stated "Work is underway to define the operational requirements
for the replacement Type 4’s."
Please clarify:
1. What stage the Type 4 project is at compared to 2 years ago.
2. Please provide copies of any documents regarding the plans for the Type 4 procurement that explains what has been decided or investigated to date.
3. What is FENZ expected service life of Type 4 appliances? (there are FENZ documents that state 20 years and 25 years for Type 4's, which is it?)
Yours sincerely,
HJ Wilson
