The System Operator function of Transpower must remain separate from the Grid Owner function of Transpower. Read more about this here.
We work with our regulator the Electricity Authority to operate and develop the electricity market to deliver long-term benefits to New Zealand consumers.
We operate the wholesale electricity market where major industrial users and the retailers that supply consumers buy electricity from generators.
