1.4 Stakeholder engagement
A high level of interest in energy policy has continued since October 2007. Public and private sector organisations and individuals have actively engaged in the direction for sustainable energy set by the Strategy. Through special events and annual conferences, many have explored what their sector can contribute to respond to the twin challenges of energy security and reducing carbon emissions from energy, and what implications there may be for their sector and for the country.
The Minister of Energy has presented the Strategy to energy industry and wider business sector conferences and to academic, energy research and post-graduate student groups. Government officials have participated in and hosted meetings, seminars and forums with a range of interested people and organisations encompassing the energy and wider business sectors, the non-profit sector and local government. The Government Spokesperson for Energy Efficiency and Conservation and senior EECA officials took a roadshow on the NZEECS to 14 locations to encourage involvement in implementation of energy efficiency and conservation initiatives.
