The Court held the Commission's interpretation of clause 4.1 was correct: the GIT must be applied in context with the Rules and long‑term modelling obligations and does not require the Commission to disaggregate hybrid proposals into minimum N‑1 works and other elements; the Commission's exercise of expert judgment in selecting alternative projects and in adopting a prudent 1-in-100 year HILP assumption was not unreasonable given the inadequate statistical data and the statutory emphasis on long‑term efficient planning, therefore MEUG's judicial review grounds fail and the approval is upheld.
