- Wholesale
- Compliance
The stress testing regime requires certain participants in the wholesale electricity market to test their exposure to changes in spot electricity prices and report the results each quarter.
The next set of disclosures for the second quarter of 2026 are due on 25 March 2026 - five business days before the beginning of the quarter to which the statement applies.
Disclosing participants need to report the results to their Board and to NZX (as the independent registrar appointed by the Electricity Authority).
We publish the aggregated stress test results on our website.
For more information and frequently asked questions, please read the stress tests information on our website.
