Past Consultation
In December 2006, the government released a draft energy strategy for public consultation. The Draft New Zealand Energy Strategy sought public views on the government's proposed vision for New Zealands energy future, the broad directions by which this vision could be achieved, and proposed actions the Government could take to support its vision.
The Draft New Zealand Energy Strategy was part of a suite of discussion documents looking at energy and climate change initiatives such as carbon pricing and measures to address land use sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The other documents were:
- Measures to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in New Zealand Post 2012
- Transitional Measures for Electricity and Stationary Energy Supply
- Draft New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (NZEECS)
- Sustainable Land Management and Climate Change Action Plan
Submissions
The Ministry of Economic Development received a total of 331 submissions on the Draft New Zealand Energy Strategy from the energy industry, major energy users, other commercial interests, community organisations, non-government organisations, local and central government, Maori, academia, research organisations and interested members of the public.
A summary report of the main points of those responding to the proposals set out in the draft energy strategy is available.
