  • Understanding or knowledge of how and why consumers (households and small businesses) experience hardship, such as electricity
  • Daytoday experience working with and/or advocating for vulnerable consumer groups including Māori, Pasifika, elderly and young people
  • An ability to read or understand technical information
  • Knowledge, experience and/or the ability to effectively advocate on behalf of consumers, in front of regulators, government agencies, electricity industry participants, and potentially the media and public
  • Dayto day working with sustainable energy issues (potentially an academic)
  • Small and medium business experience and/or expertise
