Improving the efficiency of network connections is a core part of the Electricity Authority’s programme to update the regulatory settings of distribution networks.
We’re establishing a new technical group to provide advice to the Electricity Authority on network connections. The Network Connections Technical Group will provide independent advice to the Electricity Authority on possible Code changes to make network connections quicker, easier and more consistent. We are currently welcoming nominations for new members.
View the nomination form and put forward a nomination for membership. Please refer to the Call for nominations form for more detail on the expertise we seek.
We invite nominations to Distribution.Feedback@ea.govt.nz by 19 February 2024.
