Members appointed to new Switch and Data Formats Group

The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko has appointed 14 members to its Switch and Data Formats Group.

The Group will review and provide advice to the Authority on switching and information exchange processes to help ensure they are fit for purpose as the electricity industry evolves.

We wish to thank everyone who sent through nominations. The following industry representatives have been appointed for a two-year term until November 2026:

• Ron Beatty
• Amy Cooper
• Jim Dowling
• Duncan Head
• Casey Kaczmarczyk
• Stefan Kirkwood
• Andrew Maseyk
• Daniel Pinny
• Malti Prasad
• Phoebe Taptiklis
• Urvashi Vats
• Nadine Walker
• Byron Weaver
• Campbell Wilson

The Electricity Authority’s Manager (Strategy, Planning and Performance), Larissa Lutchman, has been appointed as Chair.

We look forward to working with the Group and will publish meeting minutes and papers on our website under the Switch and Data Formats Group

The Switch and Data Formats Group replaces two dormant technical groups, the Standing Data Formats Group and the Switch Technical Group, so that advice can be delivered more effectively through one group.
