Abstract
This paper reviews the progress being made to restructure and introduce private power generation in the New Zealand electricity supply industry. I t also examines the inhibiting effect the current low price of electricity is having on new power developments in the country, and what measures are being adopted to meet future energy needs in the face of an economy growing at between 3 to 5% per annum.
