Call for nominations for the Security and Reliability Council

The Electricity Authority is calling for nominations for an independent Chair and two members of the Security and Reliability Council.

The Security and Reliability Council provides the Authority with independent advice on reliability of supply issues, the performance of the electricity system and the system operator.

The Authority is required to ensure that the members of the Security and Reliability Council have between them appropriate knowledge and experience of the electricity industry to provide advice to the Authority.

• electricity generation, particularly hydro, thermal, wind and solar
• demand-side flexibility and consumer advocacy
• Major electricity usage for industrial processes
• power system operations and performance.

We intend to appoint the successful nominees for a three-year term, starting 1 April 2025.
