This edition explores impacts of the Frontier Economics review and what it means for Tenco clients.

This edition explores the ongoing consolidation of New Zealand’s electricity retail market and its implications for procurement and embedded network strategies.

New Zealand faces tight electricity market conditions as low hydro storage and gas supply constraints lead to higher wholesale prices. Regulatory efforts are underway to boost market fairness, but volatility is expected to continue. Key players like the Tiwai Point Smelter and Huntly Power Station are critical in managing system stress. Tenco offers support through its in-house tender desk for competitive energy supply contracts. Prepare for continued market challenges this winter.

In this issue, we’ve gathered the latest insights from the utility sector, along with key updates on our services and essential reminders as we approach the end of the year.

This edition discusses the recent Tiwai Point announcement, Default Price-Quality Paths, and impending changes to the Consumer Care Guidelines. We also get to know Geoff Gale, the new Tenco and Axos Systems Group Chief Operating Officer.

This edition gives you an update on the electricity supply market in New Zealand, covers electric vehicles, and talks about distributed generation.

Private utility networks can reduce operating costs, increase control, and provide mechanisms to achieve sustainability goals. With Tenco's multi-utility package, electricity, water, and fibre can all be included on a tenant's monthly bill -- simplifying the resident experience.

This edition touches on the new Transmission Pricing Methodology (TPM) that commenced on 1 April 2023. We also provide an update on the electricity supply market and highlight the influence of hydro lake levels on short-dated future prices.

As part of ongoing embedded network management services, Tenco has worked with Precinct Properties to configure Bowen Campus as an electrical embedded network.

In New Zealand, we have transmission networks linking generation to consumers. The market is where electricity is traded as a commodity with sellers known as Generators and buyers known as Electricity Retailers.

Like private utility networks in the electricity, water and gas industries, fibre networks allow property owners to maintain control of their infrastructure -- while providing market leading services to their tenants.
