Modelling
The Ministry undertakes energy supply and demand modelling and produces projections of future energy supply, demand, prices and emissions for various scenarios. This supports the development of energy and environmental policies, as well as meeting New Zealand's reporting obligations under the Kyoto Protocol. The modelling team's lead publication, the New Zealand Energy Outlook is published on an annual basis.
Special analyses addressing energy-related issues of current interest, are published as background papers, or used by government departments and others to provide valued input to policy development, resource assessment and investment opportunities.
New Zealand's Energy Outlook
The Ministry undertakes energy supply and demand modelling and produces scenarios of future energy supply, demand, prices and emissions.
Energy sector emissions under the Kyoto Protocol
Emissions projection for energy and industrial processes over the first commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol (2008 to 2012).
Government coordination
The Ministry is lead agency to maintain and evolve a coordinated, whole-of-government strategy on energy information, analysis and modelling.
Electricity Demand and Generation Scenarios
The 2012 Electricity Demand and Generation Scenarios (EDGS) will replace the demand and generation scenarios contained in the 2010 Statement of Opportunities (SoO).
