The Chief Executive Officer of the Net Zero Economy Authority has applied under section 56(1) of the Net Zero Economy Authority Act 2024 for us to make a community of interest determination. The application relates to the Eraring Power Station, which is scheduled to close by 30 April 2029.
We will publish information about the application on the new Eraring Power Station NZEA application (NZ2026/1) page on our website.
A community of interest determination, if made, would formally establish an Energy Industry Jobs Plan for the closure. Employers included in a community of interest determination have certain obligations under the Energy Industry Jobs Plan to support employees to prepare for new jobs.
