Consultation on improving the framework for the Authority's information gathering
|
|
The Authority is consulting on a proposed amendment to the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (Code) to put a standardised framework in place for the ongoing provision of information to the Authority.
The Authority already collects information on a regular basis from participants via a range of approaches including using voluntary requests, under specific Code obligations, or under section 46 of the Act. However, there are shortcomings with these approaches, both for participants and the Authority.
The proposed Code amendment’s objective is to help the Authority be sufficiently informed to perform its functions, and to make it easier for industry participants to engage with the Authority around its information needs, and to efficiently provide ongoing information to the Authority.
The Authority will hold an online briefing on the proposal at 11.00am on Tuesday, 20 July 2021. Please register your interest in attending at infoframework@ea.govt.nz and we will send you information on how to join the briefing.
