Answer

I am advised that for the 2026/27 financial year, EECA has budgeted for $309,200 on remuneration of Crown appointees (Board members). The Electricity Authority has a total budget of $1,200,000 to cover remuneration related to all of its Crown appointees for the 2026-27 financial year. Remuneration for Authority Board and Rulings Panel members is governed and set by the Remuneration Authority Te Mana Utu Atua.
