Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

Electricity Act 1992

Powers and duties of electricity operators and other owners of electrical works

23E: Agreements preserved

You could also call this:

“Existing agreements about electrical works on land stay in place”

Sections 23A to 23D don’t change or cancel any agreements that already exist or any new agreements that are legally binding. These agreements can be between the person who owns or lives on the land and the person who owns the electrical works. If you have an agreement like this, it still applies even if it says something different from what’s in sections 23A to 23D.
