We want New Zealand consumers to benefit from a competitive, reliable and efficient electricity industry. Our Statement of Intent outlines our long-term strategic intentions for a four-year period.

Five key interrelated sector ambitions focus us to ensure electricity regulation creates a platform for economic recovery, accelerating growth and wider long-term benefit for New Zealand.

  • We want low-emissions energy to electrify the economy
  • We want consumer centricity to guide regulation and the industry
  • We want to build trust and confidence in the industry for all stakeholders
  • We want to see thriving competition delivering better outcomes for New Zealanders
  • We want to see innovation flourishing

More information about the work we're doing to support these ambitions is available in our 2021–2025 Statement of Intent.
