The independent Electricity Price Review has developed some early ideas to improve New Zealand’s electricity sector. The review panel greatly values your feedback on these early ideas, as your submissions will inform the final recommendations it delivers to the Minister of Energy and Resources in mid-2019.
In January 2019 we released a technical paper inviting submissions on Process Heat in New Zealand: Opportunities and barriers to lowering emissions.
This page is about gas security, a review of the Maui pipeline outage and a gas disruption study the government commissioned.
Long-term security and reliability of electricity supply requires regulatory certainty and effective and balanced rules.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide timely and accessible energy information, this section presents energy statistics including supply and demand by fuel types, energy balance tables, pricing information, international comparisons and greenhouse gas emissions. Each page contains a topic summary and data tables in Excel format.
Submissions are now invited on proposed regulations under the Fuel Industry Bill, and on options for a regulatory backstop to be added to legislation in future.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment sought feedback on the discussion paper Accelerating renewable energy and energy efficiency. This paper focused on two major work streams, encouraging energy efficiency and the uptake of renewable fuels in industry, and accelerating renewable electricity generation and infrastructure.
