In 2010 the Authority carried out a general review of its advisory groups. This led to the Authority's decision to establish three new standing advisory groups - the Retail Advisory Group, the Transmission Advisory Group, and the Wholesale Advisory Group. Consequently, the Retail & Consumer Advisory Group was disestablished.

The members of the RCAG were:

  • Keith Tempest (Chair)
  • Jason Delamore (Contact)
  • John van Brink (WEL Networks)
  • Nigel Barbour (Powerco)
  • Peter Rutledge (Grey Power)
  • Ralph Matthes (Major Electricity Users' Group)
  • Scott Harnett (Abacus Consulting)
  • Anne Herrington (Smart Power)

Karen Chaney, Director Retail, was the Authority's representative on the group.

Prior to 31 October 2010, the RCAG was administered by the Electricity Commission.
