The Power Supply Contract serves as the primary agreement governing the supply of electricity in New Zealand, establishing the rights, obligations, and commercial terms between electricity suppliers and consumers. This document is essential for any arrangement involving the provision of electricity, whether to residential, commercial, or industrial customers. It incorporates requirements from the Electricity Industry Act 2010, the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010, and other relevant New Zealand legislation. The contract covers crucial aspects including supply specifications, pricing structures, quality standards, metering arrangements, and maintenance responsibilities. It also addresses modern energy considerations such as distributed generation, smart metering, and renewable energy options, making it adaptable to evolving energy market requirements while ensuring regulatory compliance.
