We are currently refreshing our strategy. We have developed some working draft themes for the new strategy and we will publish these for feedback on 7 February.
We will be holding three workshops to gather feedback and input from stakeholders on the emerging themes:
- Christchurch, Monday, 17 February, 2pm-4pm
- Wellington, Tuesday, 18 February, 10am-12pm
- Auckland, Friday, 21 February, 10am-12pm
If you are interested in attending one of the workshops, please email us at strategy@ea.govt.nz. Venues will be confirmed once numbers are clear.
If you are unable to attend any of the workshops, we will provide details of how you can feedback on the strategy when we release the draft document.

EIEP1 standardised reporting methodology – decision paper released
|
|
|
As part of the Authority’s operational review of the Electricity Information Exchange Protocols (EIEPs), we have decided to make further changes to EIEP1, and subsequent changes to the overview document and EIEPs 2 and 3.
The decisions include:
- replacing the term NHH ICP with MM ICP (mass market ICP) and amend the ICP classifications for the purposes of EIEPs 1, 2 and 3 to improve clarity and remove the opportunity for different interpretations
- making ‘replacement RM normalised’ the single standardised EIEP1 reporting methodology for billing and volume information for MM ICPs for both conveyance and interposed arrangements
- retaining EIEP1 as billed reporting methodology for reporting of billing and volume information for HHR ICPs.

Reminder: Call for nominations for the Security and Reliability Council
|
|
We are calling for nominations for three members of the Security and Reliability Council (SRC). The SRC gives us independent advice on reliability of supply issues, and on the performance of the electricity system and the system operator. The SRC comprises senior members of the New Zealand electricity industry, including consumers.
We are particularly interested in nominations from people who can credibly represent the interests of commercial and industrial businesses, especially businesses connected directly to Transpower’s grid residential consumers and/or small- and medium-enterprises. Experience in electricity transmission, distribution and demand-side management is desirable.
We intend to appoint the successful nominees in March 2020 for an expected term of three years.
More information is available on our website.
