ERANZ works for a fair, competitive, and sustainable electricity market

At the Electricity Retailers' Association of New Zealand (ERANZ), we provide leadership in the retail sector and stakeholder engagement with government and regulators to promote an electricity retail market that benefits all customers across Aotearoa.

Our Priorities

New Zealand's electricity sector is ranked among the best globally for affordability, sustainability and reliability. We want our sector to keep setting standards as we move towards net-zero emissions by 2050.
