This law tells you what the Electricity Industry Act 2010 is for. The Act’s job is to set up rules for how the electricity industry should work in New Zealand. It’s like creating a guidebook that explains how things should be done when it comes to electricity. This helps make sure that everyone involved in the electricity industry knows what they need to do and how they should do it.
