The CPO subgroup and other Drive Electric CPO members met with Minister of Transport and Energy Simeon Brown on 13 August. We discussed the Government’s approach to investing in support of their 10,000 public charger target and network connections. The minister intends to release an EOI/RFP to the market seeking feedback on their investment approach in the next month.

At the end of September, we’re also expecting consultation with the Electricity Authority on streamlining connection processes through the Electricity Industry Participation Code Part 6 amendment. Visit the EA website for more information.
