We've appointed the Electricity Authority Advisory Group

- Policy
We are excited to announce we have appointed our new Electricity Authority Advisory Group (EAAG).
We were fortunate to be able to choose from a range of nominees from across the electricity industry as well as those representing consumer voices.
The first ever EAAG will provide us with advice that balances industry perspectives with fresh, innovative thinking and a strong focus on improving outcomes for electricity consumers.
Independent consultant Jamie Silk has been appointed as EAAG chair.
The 25 members are appointed for either one, two or three years.
Having a staggered approach to membership allows the EAAG to bring fresh and diverse perspectives to their advice and respond to the evolving demands of our work programme. It also means we can build broader membership among those representing different consumer voices and interests over time.
About the Electricity Authority Advisory Group
Last year we consulted on proposed changes to our advisory groups which led to the Electricity Authority Advisory Group (EAAG) formation.
The EAAG will bring the voices of our increasingly diverse stakeholder groups, including consumers, to our decision-making.
The EAAG exists alongside the Security and Reliability Council and various technical working groups.
