New Zealand Energy Strategy


New Zealand, like the rest of the world, faces major energy challenges to deliver secure, affordable energy while treating the environment responsibly.

The New Zealand Energy Strategy (NZES) is being updated. The Minister of Energy and Resources announced his intention to update the strategy in February 2009.

The New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (NZEECS) is also being replaced.

Notice of decision

Pursuant to Section 12(3)(a) of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2000, I give notice of my decision to replace the national energy efficiency and conservation strategy. The Ministry of Economic Development will prepare a replacement strategy on my behalf.

Dated 3 August 2009

Hon Gerry Brownlee, Minister of Energy and Resources
