Transpower’s Market Insights team supports the operation of the wholesale electricity market, helps implement market initiatives, and investigates how future market developments may impact System Operations. This page is intended as a source for Electricity Market information we are able to make available to our external customers. This includes new types of information, as well as links to information posted elsewhere on the Transpower website.

We have developed the following design principles to help guide the development of our new TPM proposal, as we make necessary trade-offs between options which otherwise comply with the TPM Guidelines.

Our goal is to develop the best TPM proposal we can, consistent with the new TPM Guidelines, the Electricity Authority’s statutory objective and any determination by the Commerce Commission under Part 4 of the Commerce Act 1986. 

At Transpower, we are focused on ensuring we have a genuine diversity of skills to invest in and harness future talent. In 2018, we introduced several new university scholarships which are in support of our goals.

The following 2021 scholarships are now open for applications. If you know of a female student or a student of Maori origin currently pursuing an engineering degree, be sure to share with them information on these fantastic opportunities:

DSE Transition Update - September 2020

Transpower and industry dispatch participants have been steadily progressing new dispatch service transitions since September 2019, and through the Covid-19 pandemic, to meet the 31 December 2020 deadline.

Four of the thirteen participants have transitioned from the legacy dispatch system (GENCO),  three with ICCP block 2 protocol and one with Webservices over ICCP. Also, one of these participants has fully decommissioned their GENCO system. Two further participants are set to transition in the next few weeks.

Anyone working on Transpower's assets or in restricted areas is required to be properly trained and appropriately competent for any tasks they undertake.
