Consultation

The Electricity Authority (Authority) and Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) have released a joint consultation paper on the proposed 2014/15 annual appropriations and their respective work programmes.

The paper covers all Authority appropriations and those EECA activities that are funded by the levy on industry participants.

In addition to appropriations information, the consultation paper seeks input on:

• The Authority’s proposed work programme for 2014–2017
• EECA’s proposed levy-funded electricity efficiency priorities for 2014/15.

The appropriation consultation period commences on 10 September and submissions are due by 5 pm, 22 October 2013. Submissions should be sent individually to the each of the Authority or EECA depending which appropriations and work priorities you are commenting on.

Each organisation will use the results of this consultation process to provide input for the Treasury-led Estimates of Appropriations (Government Budget) and their Statements of Intent, which are to be published after Budget day (usually in mid-May).
