Gas Quality Issues Paper

The purpose of the Gas Governance Issues in Gas Quality: Issues Paper is to review New Zealand’s arrangements for managing gas quality, identify areas for more detailed evaluation, and suggest next steps.

The paper has been written in response to industry concerns about the responsibility and liability for gas quality in New Zealand. Some participants believe responsibilities are unclear, or not well aligned with liabilities. This has been a point of contention between producers, transmission companies, distributors, and retailers.
