Your views on the opportunities and challenges of a digitalised electricity system

In future, New Zealanders will use interconnected smart technologies, and our electricity system will deliver greater social and economic benefits to consumers across Aotearoa New Zealand.

To realise this future, we need to digitalise – we must use technology to transform how our system works, for the better.

The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko is shaping the industry rules and regulations to support New Zealand’s transition to this digitalised future.

Help us get it right

We are taking action to help drive digitalisation across all points of the electricity system.​ We will empower and support industry to take the lead where it makes sense to do so.​

First, we need to understand what’s already happening and identify any barriers and opportunities.​ Your input will help us develop a system-wide view and roadmap for further discussion.
