    Overview

    We are seeking feedback on two discrete amendments to the Electricity Industry Participation Code on distributed generation:

    1. Inflation adjustment of the prescribed maximum fees for distributed generation applications (Part 6 of the Code)
    2. Expanding the registry to include more detail on the distributed generation installed at an ICP (Part 11)

    We welcome submissions by 4 June 2024. View Code amendment omnibus #3 consultation.

    Timeline

    Past activity

    Project background

    As New Zealand's electricity regulator, we're in the unique position to make, administer and enforce the Electricity Industry Participation Code. It's the rules that govern nearly every aspect of the electricity industry. We regularly review and amend the Code to make sure it’s fit for purpose and reflects new technologies and industry developments.

    The Code amendment omnibus groups several discrete amendments together for feedback to reduce separate consultations. This helps us move quicker to ensure regulation keeps up with the transformation underway across the electricity sector.
