SUMMARY:Course:  Mathematics for Overhead Line Designers
DESCRIPTION:The Mathematics for Overhead Line Designers course was developed in response to feedback from those who participated in the Micro-credential in Overhead Line Design who felt their mathematics knowledge needed refreshing before beginning the technical modules. \nThe course is not a compulsory part of the micro-credential but is recommended. \nAbout\nThe course is suitable for technical engineers and electrical tradespeople who work as a line designer and are aware of gaps in their knowledge of the mathematics involved. Participants will already have a basic understanding of electrical theory and NCEA Level 1 (or equivalent) mathematics skills. \nTheoretical knowledge and skills are shared through two stand-alone modules delivered in webinar workshops. Practice is undertaken as homework between workshops\, and ‘cheat-sheets’ are provided as takeaways to help you in your job. \nNeed to upskill or train a team? Inhouse training is available for all EEA courses.  Contact us to discuss your needs at admin@eea.co.nz. \nProgramme structure\nThe modules include: \n\nModule 1 – Algebraic equations (delivered in three 1.5hr workshops)\nModule 2 – Trigonometry (delivered in two 1.5hr workshops)\n\nUpon completion of these modules\, you will be able to: \n\nPerform basic mathematic calculations\nInterpret and use engineering formulae\nCheck engineering design calculations\n\nMathematics for OH Line Design course Flyer – 2025 \nCourse commences\nMonday 2nd March 2026

SUMMARY:Course:  Overhead Line Design Principles: OLD-010
DESCRIPTION:Background\nThe EEA in partnership with the Overhead Line Design Forum and a range of line design experts have developed the eight courses that comprise the micro-credential.  Based on AS/NZS 7000:2016 and HB 331:2020\, and incorporating tools provided by members of the forum this micro-credential continues to grow and improve to meet the needs of distribution line designers. \nThe micro-credential in Overhead Line Design has been developed by experienced distribution overhead line designers to meet the skills needs of their colleagues and those wishing to become line designers. \nThe modules include: \n\nOLD-010 Line Design Principles\nOLD-020 Conductor Solutions\nOLD-030 Insulator Solutions\nOLD-050 Cross-arm Solutions\nOLD-060 Stay Solutions\nOLD-080 Line Design Practice\n\nMicro Credential: About the Modules \nNeed to upskill or train a team? Inhouse training is available for all EEA courses.  Contact us to discuss your needs at admin@eea.co.nz. \nAbout Overhead Line Design Principles: OLD-010\nIn this course you will use engineering principles and methods to determine the safety and performance levels of overhead electricity distribution system components in New Zealand\, under a given set of variables.  This module provides foundational theory which is prerequisite to further study in overhead line design. \nThe module consists of four sections\, with assessment involving participants answering a series of knowledge-based questions (duration 50hrs). \nThe delivery format combines self-directed study\, online workshops\, and scenario-based assessments to ensure participants gain practical and applied understanding. \nCourse commences\nMonday 9th February 2026 \nRegistration\nFollow the link below to register for this course.

SUMMARY:Changes to fall protection requirements (AS/NZS1891.4:2025): Webinar
DESCRIPTION:AS/NZS Standard 1891.4:2025  Personal equipment for working at height\, Part 4: Selection\, use and maintenance has recently been updated and is now available on the Standards New Zealand website. \nThe EEA would like to invite you to attend an online webinar being run by EEA’s Safety Standards and Procedures Group at 9am on the 19th November\, the webinar will be  a general discussion on the update to ASNZS1891.4:2025\, focussing the requirement for additional control measures (fall protection system) to be implemented when a work positioning system is used\, while working at height. \nWe encourage active participation in this webinar\, to share ideas around how companies are implementing solutions to this requirement\, what their rollout strategies are\, how they’re engaging with their staff\, and managing compliance\, photos would be great as well. \nLink to register for webinar

SUMMARY:Webinar: Lock Out Tag Out Guide
DESCRIPTION:The Standards Safety Procedures Group has developed the Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) Guide  to provide clear\, practical guidance on the lockout and tagging of switches and equipment that serve as isolation points within the electricity ‘works’ environment. The guide is intended to complement\, not replace\, existing legislative and regulatory requirements\, and is based on good practice as recognised by industry representatives. \nAn initial draft was sent out for consultation and feedback considered\, including submissions questioning the need for a dedicated LOTO guide given the existence of various standards and internal procedures. \nBoth the EEA Executive and Electricity Networks Aotearoa reiterated their support for the development of this guide as a mechanism to provide clear\, industry-specific guidance to lift LOTO and health and safety standards. \nJoin the webinar and find out more about the guide\, its purpose and next steps. \nClick here to register today \n

SUMMARY:The Future of Smart Energy in NZ: FlexTalk's Journey to 100+ Connected Homes
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for an insightful webinar detailing the journey and key learnings from the FlexTalk Seed project\, which is now scaling up to connect over 100 homes with smart technology.\nWe’ll share how this initiative\, in partnership with TLC’s Community Solar Initiative\, is paving the way for consumers to effortlessly optimise their energy use. \nDuring this session\, you’ll discover: \n\nHow open standards enable seamless communication between energy systems and devices\nThe tangible benefits of smart technology for energy optimisation in homes\nReal-world experiences in the installation and setup of smart devices\nRecommended products and connection methods for successful deployments\nKey feedback from both the installers and the homeowners involved\nOur plan to scale demand flexibility across Aotearoa\, including the technology and approach for connecting 100+ homes\n\nWhat is FlexTalk? \nFlexTalk is a collaborative program led by the EEA and EECA\, uniting industry partners to explore and implement solutions for demand flexibility.  Our work empowers businesses\, consumers\, and service providers to actively participate in a smarter electricity grid.  Previous FlexTalk phases have successfully tested open communication protocols like OpenADR. Read more. \nThe FlexTalk Seed project provided crucial practical experience in installing and managing smart devices including home energy management systems (HEMS) and hot water/AC monitoring and control in residential settings\, setting the stage for larger-scale deployments. HEMS act as a central hub\, connecting appliances and energy resources to optimise electricity use\, aiming to reduce costs. \nPhase 3 is currently underway\, focusing on installing HEMS in over 100 homes in collaboration with The Lines Company. We are applying the valuable lessons learned from our earlier phases to deliver tangible benefits to consumers at scale. \nSpeakers \nDr. Stuart Johnson (EEA)\, Connie Dunbar (EEA/Assurity Consulting)\, Terry Paddy (Cortexo)\, Romesh Anandaraja (Ivory Egg) \nRegister for the Webinar \nTo register for the webinar which is via MSTeam use this link here: Register for this webinar

SUMMARY:Temporary Traffic Management: Webinar 27th March
DESCRIPTION:The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) have recently published The New Zealand guide to temporary traffic management (NZGTTM).  The Guide moves away from the traditional scenario based guidance\, to outlining how to use a risk-based approach to plan and mitigate the risks to road workers and road users to keep them safe. \nThe EEA through the Temporary Traffic Management Working Group have developed a document that provides practical guidance for Electricity Distribution Business’s (EDBs) to assist with the consideration of major risk factors and assessment of the appropriate risk mitigation and control measures involved with work\, which is of short term duration\, low risk to road users\, and carried out in the road reserve\, i.e. not in a live lane. \nTo support the release of this guide the EEA will be hosting a webinar explaining the background and application the guide. \nJoin us at 2pm on the 27th March to hear more. \nOur thanks go out to the working group supporting the industry with the publication the Temporary Traffic Management – Risk-based Scenarios Electrical Distribution Industry. \nTo register for the webinar which is via MSTeam use this link here: Register for this webinar
