The recently-established Electricity Retailers’ Association of New Zealand (ERANZ) has appointed a Chief Executive.

Jenny Cameron, most recently the Director of External Relations for the Brewers’ Association of Australia and New Zealand, will be joining ERANZ as its inaugural Chief Executive on 23 February. “We are delighted to have a person of Jenny’s calibre and experience taking on the role of Chief Executive,” says ERANZ Chair Alan McCauley.

“From an electricity retailers’ perspective, we have been in need of coordinated industry voice on complex industry issues for some time. Jenny will play a significant leadership role in communicating and liaising with important stakeholders on these issues, including electricity consumers,” says Alan.

“It is an exciting prospect to establish a new industry association, especially in such an essential sector,” says Jenny.

“The electricity retail profile in New Zealand is unique and I am looking forward to learning more about the sector. There are plenty of opportunities to continue to develop a sustainable and competitive retail market to meet customers’ needs,” she says.

Incorporated in August 2015, ERANZ members include Contact Energy, Genesis Energy, Nova Energy, Meridian Energy, Mighty River Power, Pulse Energy and Trustpower.

ERANZ’s purpose is to promote and enhance a sustainable and competitive New Zealand electricity retail market. It will represent the industry on important sector-wide issues such as delivering value to customers and supporting an open, competitive and effective electricity market.
