Consultation
The Electricity Authority has consulted on how New Zealand's electricity rules should support plug-in generation if it becomes legal in the future (this is a decision for other regulators), and improvements to distributed generation connections.
We sought feedback on:
- how the Electricity Industry Participation Code can support the safe and efficient uptake of plug-in generation if the broader electrical safety regulations allow it
- clarifications to improve the efficiency of small-scale distributed generation connection processes, including the application of export limits.
Thanks to all those who provided feedback.
