General reminder: Stress test scenarios due soon

The stress test notice issued in May 2025 remains current and will apply for the quarter from October to December 2025. There is no change from the previous quarter.

The stress testing regime requires certain participants in the wholesale electricity market to apply a set of standard stress tests to their market position.

Disclosing participants need to report the results to their Board and to NZX (as the independent registrar appointed by the Electricity Authority). The stress test results are published on the EMI website.

This is a reminder for disclosing participants to ensure their Board considers and accepts the participant’s risk position.
