Government Policy Statement




4 JUNE 2008 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 92 2469

• Policy and regulatory settings for the gas sector, including the Government Policy Statement on Gas Governance^5 and measures to encourage petroleum exploration.

The Government expects the Commission to take these into account and contribute as appropriate to the Government’s wider policy objectives.

The Electricity Act 1992 (s172N) sets the principal objectives for the Commission and the specific outcomes that the Commission must seek to achieve. An extract of s172N is attached as an appendix to the GPS.

This Government Policy Statement sets out the objectives and outcomes the Government wants the Commission to give effect to. It is made pursuant to s172ZK of the Electricity Act 1992 and replaces all previous Government Policy Statements on Electricity Governance. For the avoidance of doubt, the Government Policy Statement does not include the Foreword.

Hon David Parker
Minister of Energy
