Manawa Energy (NZX: MNW) notes the High Court’s decision has now been released on the judicial review it sought regarding the Electricity Authority’s (the Authority) decision to replace the Transmission Pricing Methodology (TPM) Guidelines in 2020.
The High Court has found that the Authority was entitled to adopt its preferred methodology as the required threshold for a successful judicial review action was not met.
