Low-emissions electricity
[ Last Updated 18 July 2008 ]
The New Zealand Energy Strategy sets out a vision of a sustainable low-emissions energy system, with a target of achieving 90 percent of electricity generated from renewable sources by 2025.
To achieve the vision and target, we will be working to ensure that measures to advance the preference for renewable energy are implemented effectively.
We will work with the Ministry for the Environment to develop a National Policy Statement on renewable energy. We will work with the Electricity Commission and others to address transmission and renewable integration issues. And we will work with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority, the Electricity Commission, and others to promote uptake of cost-effective energy efficiency measures and distributed generation.
