✨ Energy Strategy Overview
2472 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 92 4 JUNE 2008
New Zealand Energy Strategy and New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy
-
The New Zealand Energy Strategy (NZES) sets out the Government’s vision of a sustainable, low emissions energy system and describes the actions that will be taken to make this vision a reality.
-
The energy efficiency and renewable energy sections in the NZES are supported by the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (NZEECS). The NZEECS is an action plan to help New Zealanders increase their uptake of energy efficiency and conservation measures and renewable energy.
-
Responsibility for delivering the NZES and NZEECS actions is shared across a number of departments and Crown entities including the Commission. The Government expects the Commission to contribute to programme design, delivery and monitoring. So that it can be held accountable for delivering the actions assigned to it, the Commission will need to make provision for delivering these actions in its planning processes and accountability documents, such as the Output Agreement and Statement of Intent.
-
A Senior Energy Officials Group has been established to oversee the implementation of the NZES and the NZEECS, and to coordinate the development of priority energy efficiency programmes. This group is led by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED), and includes the Commission as well as other relevant agencies such as the Ministry for the Environment (MfE), the Ministry of Transport (MoT), the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) and the Department of Building and Housing (DBH).
-
This group has responsibility for ensuring a coordinated and cohesive programme, and for providing a forum in which to address matters relating to consistency of programmes with energy policy and the government’s broader climate change and sustainability objectives, and for coordinating stakeholder engagement. Each agency will continue to identify potential actions for consideration by the group.
-
MED will coordinate an annual monitoring report on a financial year basis. This report, which will be made public, will help inform any necessary reprioritisation of proposed actions.
