Consultations

Advances in consumer technology, increasing renewable generation, such as wind and solar, and reducing our reliance on fossil-fuelled generation mean the make-up of the power system, and how it is operated, will evolve over the coming decades.

The Authority has released a final report into Opportunities and challenges to the future security and resilience of the New Zealand power system and an accompanying draft road map of actions to address them.  This is part of a work programme with Transpower.

The Authority held two online Q&A sessions for stakeholders on the Phase 2 draft roadmap. A copy of the presentation slides from the sessions is available below.

The FSR programme is entering its second year. The following paper:

• sets out a roadmap of activities to address opportunities and challenges expected to affect our current ways of ensuring secure and resilient power supply
• announces the start of the highest priority activity on the roadmap, which is a review of common quality requirements in Part 8 of the Electricity Industry Participation Code
• seeks views on how the power system could evolve in the future

Harnessing new technology to meet increased demand makes the security and resilience of New Zealand’s power system even more important, now and into the future.

This work supports New Zealand’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, and the Government’s aspiration to achieve 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030.

Release of the draft report, Opportunities and challenges to the future security and resilience of the New Zealand power system and discussion paper is a key milestone in the first phase of a collaborative work programme between the Authority, assisted by Transpower, and the wider sector.
