  1. Transmission pricing methodology 2012
    05 March 2013

    The Electricity Authority has proposed changes to how transmission services are priced which link transmission pricing to New Zealand's world leading wholesale electricity market. On first read the proposal looks attractive and appears to have material benefits for New Zealand. But can the Authority's approach work? Do the benefits make sense and can they be realised over time?

    NZIER were asked by a group of major electricity users (MEUG) to evaluate these and other questions and advise MEUG members in support of their submissions on the Authority's proposal. Our analysis and assessment are contained in a public report that can be found on the MEUG website.
