  As New Zealand’s only transmission company, Transpower’s role as a State-Owned Enterprise is to build, operate, and maintain the National Grid. At the heart of the electricity sector, we have a unique and critical role helping to enable and accelerate a net-zero carbon future.
  Transpower calculates annual transmission charges each year in accordance with the Transmission Pricing Methodology (TPM), which is a schedule of the Electricity Industry Participation Code and is governed by the Electricity Authority. Because we are a natural monopoly, our investments in grid assets and allowable revenue are regulated by the Commerce Commission.

As Regulatory Advisor you will play a key role in providing support on regulatory and pricing compliance matters, both within the Grid Pricing team and throughout Transpower. You will be responsible for supporting the Senior Regulatory Advisor and Head of Grid Pricing to deliver and coordinate grid pricing consultation and stakeholder engagement processes, developing supporting procedures and policy work. This involves:

• Working across the business with contributing technical experts to deliver accessible, high-quality consultation materials.
• Developing high quality processes and procedures with appropriate governance in place.
• Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency of compliance with the TPM and reduce complexity for our customers, including the development of any supporting collateral.
• Working closely with the Senior Regulatory Advisor & Regulatory Affairs team on other electricity industry matters, including in relation to electricity network pricing regulations and regulatory disclosures.
