Standardised super-peak hedge contract: clause 2.16 information notice
Consultation
We are consulting on a proposed notice under the Code to require all participants who operate an electronic platform on which standardised super-peak electricity contracts are available for trade to regularly provide the Electricity Authority with trade data.
This will build on existing voluntary data-sharing arrangements. It aims to ensure legal certainty and timely publication of hedge market information to enhance transparency, support market confidence and improve competition.
We welcome your feedback by 5pm, Friday 19 December. We will consider all submissions before making a final decision, which we currently expect to publish in early 2026.
Make a submission
Our preference is to receive submissions in the format shown in Appendix B. Submissions in electronic form should be emailed to wholesaleconsultation@ea.govt.nz with "Standardised super-peak hedge contract 2.16 consultation" in the subject line before 5pm, Friday 19 December.
If you cannot send your submission electronically, please contact us at wholesaleconsultation@ea.govt.nz or call 04 460 8860 to discuss alternative arrangements. We intend to publish all submissions we receive. If you consider that we should not publish any part of your submission, please:
- indicate which part should not be published and explain why, and
- provide a public version of your submission that the Authority can publish (if we agree not to publish your full submission).
All feedback, including any parts that the Authority does not proactively publish, can be requested under the Official Information Act 1982.
