On 23 August 2010, the Governor General made an Order in Council specifying that the administrative settlement be superseded by individual price-quality regulation. This new form of regulation, took effect from 1 April 2011. The initial price-quality path is set for a four-year period. The second price-quality path will be set for a five year period.
In addition to the individual price-quality path and input methdologies that apply, the Commission is also required to determine an additional input methodology for reviewing Transpower’s capital expenditure proposals (Capex IM). More information on the Input Methodologies page.
