Review of Section 62 of the Electricity Act "Continuance of Supply" (2013 review)
On 2 June 2005 the Minister of Energy announced a review would take place in 2007 of Section 62 of the Electricity Act 1992. Section 62 of the Act provides that electricity lines companies must maintain services to connections established as at 1 April 1993. This section expires on 31 March 2013, and from this date, is deemed to be repealed. Lines built after April 1993 are not affected by this clause.
The objective of the review is to consider what new arrangements, if any, should be put in place to ensure that affected communities continue to have access to an electricity supply after 2013 that is efficient, fair, reliable and delivered in an environmentally sustainable manner. The review is being led by the Electricity Group, Energy and Communications Branch, Ministry of Economic Development.
