The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko is the independent Crown entity responsible for governing and regulating New Zealand's electricity industry. It sets and enforces the rules that govern the electricity market, monitors industry performance, supports fair competition, and works to ensure consumers are treated fairly. As Aotearoa transitions towards a more renewable, low-emissions energy system, the Authority is helping address critical issues including network connections, electricity affordability, security of supply, market resilience, and consumer choice. Its work supports an electricity system that delivers long-term benefits for all New Zealanders.
