The New Zealand Committee for the Co-ordination of Power and Telecommunication Systems Inc. (NZCCPTS) wound up in early 2026. Their Guides and other intellectual knowledge are now being hosted on our website.
Background to NZCCPTS Documents and History
The New Zealand Committee for the Co-ordination of Power and Telecommunication Systems was established in 1985 following the increasing need to implement efficient cost-effective measures for the limitation of hazard and interference from HV Power Distribution Systems to nearby Copper Telecommunications Systems and Personnel.
Such measures not only require the determination of optimum engineering solutions consistent with minimum national cost, but also necessitate clear guide-lines covering the equitable allocation of responsibilities during all work phases from planning through to in-service operation.
The objective of the New Zealand Committee for the Co-ordination of Power and Telecommunication Systems was to meet these needs, and by means of publications and seminars, promote a greater awareness and understanding of the actions that must be taken to ensure that Power and Telecommunication Systems coexist satisfactorily.
Membership of the NZCCPTS and its Working Parties comprised representatives from each of the following organizations:
- Electricity Engineers’ Association of New Zealand (Inc.)
- Energy Safety, WorkSafe NZ, Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE)
- Chorus New Zealand Ltd
- Transpower New Zealand Ltd
- KiwiRail (KiwiRail Holdings Ltd)
