Demand-side flexibility survey

The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko invites industry participants with confirmed or prospective demand-side flexibility to complete this survey by Friday 1 March 2024.

We recognise the many benefits of demand-side flexibility, and we would like to further understand and quantify the level of available demand-side flexibility to inform current and future policy solutions. In the context of this survey, demand-side flexibility includes demand response and distributed energy resources, such as small-scale solar and battery storage systems.

The information gathered from this survey will be used to inform our consultation on Potential solutions for peak electricity capacity issues. It will also be used to inform potential solutions for accelerating the uptake of demand response in the wholesale market.

All information provided through the survey will remain confidential unless the information is already in the public domain (or we are required by law to release it). Any information published from the survey will be aggregated (eg, at an island level) so that individual responses cannot be identified.

For any queries, or to discuss your views on the availability of demand-side flexibility, contact OperationsConsult@ea.govt.nz
