2020-2025 electricity default price-quality path
This page was updated8 days ago
On 27 November 2019 we set the third default price-quality path (DPP) for the 17 electricity distributors subject to price-quality regulation.
These price-quality paths will apply for the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2025. Aurora Energy is currently on a Customised Price-quality Path (CPP) which expires 31 March 2026. Previously in this DPP reset, Wellington Electricity were on a CPP (expired 31 March 2021) as too were Powerco (expired 31 March 2023).
In July 2021, Centralines underwent a process to become completely consumer owned by changing its trust deed to make all trustees consumer elected. This made Centralines DPP exempt and were no longer price-quality regulated.**
