Developing New Price-Quality Regulation to Apply to Transpower

The requirement to develop and apply a new type of regulation to Transpower is one of the key changes to the Commission’s regulatory responsibilities under the Commerce Amendment Act 2008.

Before the administrative settlement expires, the Commission must make a recommendation to the Minister of Commerce that an Order in Council be made declaring which type of price-quality regulation to which Transpower should be subject, i.e. either default/customised price-quality regulation or individual price-quality regulation.

The process for recommending the form of regulation must follow the process requirements (except those provisions specifically relating to inquiries) in subpart 2 of Part 4 of the Act.
