Distribution pricing forums – request for feedback

  • Distribution
  • Prices

We would like to thank all those who attended our distribution pricing forums in September 2023.

We recognise the significant time investment and preparation required to provide suggestions and ideas to the discussions. Your valuable input will help inform our proposals for regulatory change.

View the forum slides.

If you attended a session, we’re keen to hear your feedback:

  • What worked well?
  • What improvements could be made?
  • Any other feedback?

We welcome your feedback to distribution.pricing@ea.govt.nz.

We held four forums (Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and online) which were well attended by stakeholders across the industry, including energy industry representatives, consumer groups, and other regulators. The sessions were beneficial in fostering robust discussion around how we can move forward with distribution pricing policy.
