The Electricity Industry Participation Code gets a digital makeover

  • Code
  • Compliance

The Electricity Authority has transformed the Electricity Industry Participation Code (Code) into an interactive online resource.

The new Code online is easier to use, navigate, search and share, with features including:

  • quick reference 'pop up' boxes for defined terms to avoid having to navigate to the definitions clause of the Code
  • easy navigation to move in and across different parts of the Code
  • separate links for different parts, sub-parts and clauses of the Code, so pages can be bookmarked for quick reference
  • easy view of Code amendments that have been made, but are not yet in force
  • quick and effective search functionality
  • PDFs to download and print.

This marks a significant step forward in making the Code more accessible and user-friendly for all industry participants.

We would love to hear your feedback on the Code online to help inform our next phase of improvements. Please send your feedback to info@ea.govt.nz
