  • Distribution
  • Prices

We’ve received queries from distributors on how they should pass through settlement residual rebates to their customers. Also queries on what settlement residual allocation methodology-related information to disclose. We have developed draft pass-through guidance to assist with these queries.

If you are interested in providing feedback on our draft guidance, please contact network.pricing@ea.govt.nz and we will send you a copy to review.

We welcome your feedback by 11 April 2023.
