Code amendment omnibus

Consulting on groups of amendments to the Electricity Industry Participation Code.

  • Code
  • Compliance

    • Overview

    We recently sought feedback on two discrete amendments to the Electricity Industry Participation Code on distributed generation:

    1. Inflation adjustment of the prescribed maximum fees for distributed generation applications (Part 6 of the Code)
    2. Expanding the registry to include more detail on the distributed generation installed at an ICP (Part 11)

    We would like to thank all those engaged with this consultation and provided a submission. We are now analysing feedback and aim to publish a decision paper in August 2024.

    Project background

    As New Zealand's electricity regulator, we're in the unique position to make, administer and enforce the Electricity Industry Participation Code. It's the rules that govern nearly every aspect of the electricity industry. We regularly review and amend the Code to make sure it’s fit for purpose and reflects new technologies and industry developments.

    The Code amendment omnibus groups several discrete amendments together for feedback to reduce separate consultations. This helps us move quicker to ensure regulation keeps up with the transformation underway across the electricity sector.
