Deadline extended for standardised demand flexibility product survey

We have extended the closing date for our survey, which will help inform the work of our Standardised Demand Flexibility Product co‑design group, from 5pm Tuesday 10 February to 5pm Tuesday 17 February 2026.

We are seeking insights from potential buyers or sellers of a standardised demand flexibility product. Your feedback will help us understand:

• demand for such a product, the problems it could solve, or the opportunities it could create for your organisation
• key features that would make it valuable eg, duration, notice period, pricing, ensuring availability
• current barriers to these types of contracts and how standardisation or other interventions could help eg, education, price transparency, credit, prudential requirements or on-selling restrictions
• pricing and valuation approaches
• how this product could add value compared to existing options like the super-peak hedge contract.

Your feedback will help the newly established Standardised Demand Flexibility Product Co-design Group understand the opportunities and challenges involved in this work. It will also help focus efforts on the areas that matter most.

Please select the survey that applies to you:

• Survey for a potential buyer of the product
• Survey for a potential seller of the product
• Survey for those who are potentially both a buyer and a seller of the product or for those who are neither.

If you do not have enough information to complete the survey, or if you would like to share your views outside of the survey, email flexibility@ea.govt.nz with your thoughts or to request a meeting. You can also email us if you have questions.
