Energy regulation has seen many shifts and changes because of the significant policy movements that many countries have seen. Two substantial shifts have occurred in New Zealand in a two-year period, 2003 to 2005. The electricity market is no longer under self-regulation, but is now under state regulation. The natural gas industry is no longer virtually unregulated, as it once was, and is now under a form of co-regulation. This chapter explores the reasons for these changes.
Keywords: New Zealand, self-regulation, electricity market, natural gas industry
