Yes - I think it does. This is the argument for unbundling which, and I might be mistaken, means that your bill would look like this:
10c Power generation
5c Transmission (ie. Transpower)
5c Distribution (ie. local lines Vector/Orion)
5c Retail
This is why the solar argument is so hard. Solar is not cheaper than 10c, but is cheaper than 25c at its peak supply. However, if you are grid tied and using power at peak demand, they you should be paying your fair share of transmission and distribution as Solar does not mitigate those costs.
