The careful management of our assets is vital to reliable and affordable electricity supply for New Zealand.
EEA and its member companies are committed to supporting the effective management and performance of assets and technology for optimum outcomes today and as we transition into a decarbonised future.
To achieve these outcomes, we host the Asset Management Group and coordinates training and events for people in the field of asset management.
We also facilitate the development, publication and ongoing enhancement of technical guides for asset management across the sector.
Asset Management Group
The Asset Management Group (AMG) provides collaboration, leadership, and guidance for effective asset management for the electricity supply industry.
We achieve this by working with the electricity supply industry to facilitate, coordinate and lead the enhancement of asset management planning, practices, knowledge and performance through self-regulation, recognised quality systems, and sound engineering practice principles.
The group’s objectives are to:
- Lead and promote knowledge and good practices in asset management in the NZ electricity industry.
- Provide working level practical advice and guidance to improve industry understanding, support decision making, planning and the management of issues around asset management.
- Enable the reporting and sharing of information relating to asset performance, reliability and equipment failure trends.
