Fuel
The Commerce Commission has a role in regulating the fuel industry under the Fuel Industry Act 2020.
Following a market study by the Commission, which found a number of shortcomings in the competitiveness of fuel markets in New Zealand, the Government introduced the Fuel Industry Act 2020 (the Act).
The Act sets up a regulatory regime for fuel with the purpose of promoting competition in engine fuel markets for the long-term benefit of consumers. It came into force in stages from August 2021.
