Call for nominations to the Security and Reliability Council
The Authority is calling for nominations for three members of the Security and Reliability Council (SRC). One of the positions is for the Chair of the SRC. The SRC provides independent advice to the Authority on reliability of supply issues and on the performance of the electricity system and the system operator. The SRC comprises senior members of the New Zealand electricity industry including consumers. The Authority is required to ensure that the members of the SRC have between them appropriate knowledge and experience of the electricity industry to provide advice to the Authority.
Nominations are sought due to the expiry of two membership terms and a resignation. All three appointments will be for a term of three years. The Authority intends to appoint successful nominees by 10 December 2013.
Nominations and accompanying documents should be emailed to info@ea.govt.nz, with 'Nomination for SRC members' in the subject line by 5pm on Monday, 4 November 2013.
