Pricing Reform

With the emergence of new technologies – solar panels, electric vehicles and battery panels for example – consumers have more choice and control around how they use energy. 

While the opportunities presented by these technologies are exciting, the way distribution prices are calculated needs to change. If they don’t, electricity bills for ordinary New Zealanders are likely to increase further over the long-term.

Our most recent update to the Pricing Roadmap was released in April 2021. The Commerce Commission has provided a draft document on their regulations for 2025 to 2030, which we will use to guide our updated roadmap for the next five years.
