Decentralisation green paper feedback period extended to 25 June

We’ve extended the deadline for feedback on the decentralisation green paper until Wednesday 25 June 2025. Don’t miss your chance to shape the future.

The purpose of this green paper is to start the necessary discussion among all electricity stakeholders around decentralisation and the future of our energy system.

The Authority welcomes feedback from people and organisations with an interest in the energy system. This includes iwi and hapū leaders, local government and civil defence groups, community groups, consumer representatives, housing developers, education facilities, industrial and commercial organisations, and the wider energy sector.

We will use this feedback to help shape our regulatory thinking about what a more decentralised electricity system might look like for New Zealand, how this might benefit consumers, and what might be needed to gain these benefits.
