Seeking feedback on applying the consumer data right to banking and electricity

Published: 02 September 2024

The government is progressing the development of a ‘consumer data right’ to give individuals and businesses greater choice and control over their data. This is done through the Customer and Product Data Bill, which has been introduced to Parliament and is now before the Economic Development, Science and Innovation Committee.

MBIE has published two discussion documents seeking feedback on applying the Bill to the banking and electricity sectors.

The government is seeking feedback to ensure the settings are right for banking, and to understand what is important for electricity as detailed policy work begins.

Consultation ends on 10 October 2024.
