Decision on Code Review Programme 4
|
|
The Authority has decided to amend the Code as part of an omnibus of amendments.
These omnibus changes allow the Authority to make several independent and relatively small amendments. The amendments are to several parts of the Code and have varying effective dates. We recommend all participants read the decision document to identify relevant areas of change.

Powering the future workshops
|
|
No one can predict exactly how the future power system will evolve, and there are many different views across the sector.
It’s not too late to share yours at one of three online workshops the Authority is holding over the next few weeks where you can contribute towards the future security and resilience of the New Zealand power system.
The three online workshops scheduled are:
- Workshop 1: Monday 29 November 2021, 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
- Workshop 2: Friday 3 December 2021, 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
- Workshop 3: Monday 6 December 2021, 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
You can register to attend by emailing fsr@ea.govt.nz.
Engagement will be completed by the end of December 2021 and will feed into a multi-year action plan. The draft action plan will be published for feedback in the first half of 2022.
