129: Authority consultation about request for appropriation

You could also call this:

“The Electricity Authority must ask industry members before requesting money for costs”

Before the Authority asks the Minister for money to cover costs that will be paid by industry levies, they need to talk to the people who will pay these levies. This includes the industry participants who will pay the levy and other people who might be greatly affected by it. The Authority must tell the Minister what people said during these talks when they ask for the money.

The Ministry also needs to talk to people in the same way when they want to recover certain costs through a levy.

These rules about talking to people before asking for money started in the financial year that began on 1 July 2011 and continue for all the years after that.
