Data and insights

As New Zealand's electricity regulator, the Electricity Authority collects and works with a large amount of data to track and monitor the electricity markets and market participants' behaviour.

Through our monitoring we:

• look at how the electricity market is performing to see if it’s working well, fairly, and in a way that benefits consumers over the long term
• investigate whether the market is encouraging long-term investment, innovation and efficient entry and exit of market participants
• check whether market participants are efficiently developing and operating the electricity system, including the security and reliability of our electricity supply
• monitor whether companies are following the rules set out in the Electricity Industry Participation Code
• review initiatives we’ve put in place to check they're working as planned
• use our learnings to inform future work and Code amendments.

We provide access to electricity data, visualisations, insights and tools so you can stay up to date with what's happening in the sector.
