 The electricity industry in New Zealand has evolved over many decades. It now takes the form of a carefully structured network of relationships between the companies that generate and distribute electricity. Behind it all lies a system of rules and transactions that influence the price you pay and the service you receive.

For more background on the way the industry took its current shape, see our guide to the deregulation process.
