What is an embedded network in New Zealand?

An embedded network is an arrangement within the New Zealand electricity market where the property owner and a service provider take responsibility for managing the lines and network billing within a building or development.

Can tenants still choose their own retailer under an embedded network?

Yes - an embedded network allows for each connection to choose their own independent electricity retailer.

Will an embedded network increase tenant charges?

In New Zealand, embedded networks typically mirror published lines company rates (e.g. Vector, Wellington Electricity or Orion) for tenants. This means that tenants are price neutral from a lines charge perspective. Additionally, this means electricity retailers who ultimately invoice tenants, are also not impacted.

What physical work is required to establish an embedded network?

Often, the only physical work needed is to install a gate meter within the main switchboard of a building or development.

Who owns the electrical lines infrastructure within my property?

Typically, the property owner or body corporate own the lines after the demarcation point with the local lines company. This would be the case whether an embedded network was established or not.
