Efficient energy market
We want a competitive retail electricity system that drives innovation and keeps prices low for customers.
New Zealand has one of the world’s leading energy systems in terms of resilience, reliability, and sustainability – and we want to keep it that way by ensuring our electricity settings support the right blend of regulation and competition to drive good outcomes for consumers.
Hardship and fairness
We want all families to live in warm, dry, healthy homes with affordable energy costs.
Because of our poor quality housing, Kiwis can use a lot of electricity compared to other countries, which can lead to high bills for some over winter. One sector alone can’t solve poverty—but ERANZ is committed to doing its part to help families in need.
Low-carbon energy future
We want electricity to be a key solution to New Zealand’s net-zero emission future.
We have very high levels of renewable electricity, with more being built all the time. That means New Zealand can make make significant carbon savings by converting fossil fuel-intensive industries like transport and process heat to electricity.
