This outlines potential gaps in our current work programme and to identify further work required. The Innovation and Participation Advisory Group (IPAG) has provided advice on this topic.

Project background

This project focused on identifying any regulatory barriers to competition and innovation in technology and business models. Evolving technologies and new business models will deliver substantial benefits for New Zealand electricity consumers. Together, these changes will lead to more participation in the electricity industry, which will promote competition and choice, and deliver significant reliability benefits to consumers.
