Benefit-Cost Analysis of the New Zealand Energy Strategy

This document is intended to inform the policy debate by providing a consistent quantitative assessment of the costs and benefits of the range of measures set out in the draft New Zealand Energy Strategy. It seeks to provide insight into how the various measures would likely affect the behaviour of consumers and businesses, and how these changes in behaviour might translate into changes in energy supply, demand, greenhouse gas emissions, and prices. The measures examined include: emissions pricing, electricity sector regulatory measures, and energy efficiency measures.

Supplementary Data Files

The Supplementary Data files include the underlying data for most of the graphics in the Benefit-Cost Analysis of the New Zealand Energy Strategy, along with additional results and graphics for each of the cases. The Supplementary Files may be downloaded individually or in the form of a Zip file. The files available include one for the figures in Chapter 3 (the Base Case), one for each of the emission pricing and electricity sector regulatory measures examined in Chapters 4-10, one for the summary graphs at end of Chapter 16, plus one for the tables in Appendix A. There is no additional material on the energy efficiency and conservation measures in Chapter 11-15.
