| Ministry of Health | Summary of Reason
| There has been over 25 years of research on the aspect of “low frequency electric and magnetic fields.” Some research suggests that long term exposure to the highest levels which the public might be exposed to can lead to the possibility of adverse effects, whilst other research does not suggest that such exposure could have any effects. We also note that an adequate and safe supply of electricity is essential to maintain modern infrastructure, the economy and thus protect public health. |

Wishes to be Heard | Summary of Decision Sought | Transpower to demonstrate that its emissions comply with the International Commission on non Ionizing Radiation Protection guidelines. A condition may be appended, but careful choice of the extent of any condition and note the variability of conditions of magnetic fields on a daily basis. |
