We’re responsible for advising the Government on energy efficiency policy for New Zealand and we are currently trialling a new renewable energy initiative that aims to improve energy affordability. EECA is responsible for implementing programmes to improve the energy efficiency of New Zealand homes and business.
In June 2025 we consulted on proposals to introduce or update Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and Mandatory Energy Performance Labelling (MEPL) requirements across a range of product classes under the Energy Efficiency (Energy Using Products) Regulations 2002.
The Māori and Public Housing Renewable Energy Fund was set up in 2020 to trial renewable energy solutions that aimed to improve energy affordability, and help create warm, healthy and energy efficient homes.
Our unique geology provides New Zealand with an extraordinary opportunity to harness a powerful and versatile natural resource with diverse applications. Stunning vistas showcasing precious geothermal surface features, combined with early innovation in energy development, laid the foundation for New Zealand’s energy profile and propelled us forward as a global leader.
