Thank you for your email of 6 June 2025 to the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment (MBIE) requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:

 

Please provide all correspondence between the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and Transpower NZ Ltd (including, but not
limited to, communications with the Chief Executive, GM People, General
Counsel & Company Secretary, Head of Health and Safety, and Senior
Principal Engineer) involving any and all matters pertaining to or
associated with the subject of COVID-19 during the period from 1 January
2021 to 30 June 2022.

 

As you may be aware MBIE is a large Ministry and during the COVID-19
pandemic was part of a wide range of workstreams and services.

 

Therefore, in order to provide a relevant response to you, we are hoping
that you could clarify your request and identify any particular topics of
‘communications with Transpower’ you are interested in? For example, are
you looking for information around Covid-19 and employment matters, supply
chain management, or something else?

 

We apologise for the delay in clarifying your request and look forward to
hearing from you.
