New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy
The New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (NZEECS) is an action plan to:
- Promote sustainability as part of New Zealand’s national identity
- Improve the quality of life for New Zealand families
- Drive economic transformation in business
It is an action plan for many of the programmes in the New Zealand Energy Strategy and its programmes are complementary to the Emissions Trading Scheme in achieving emissions reductions.
The NZEECS targets actions in five areas:
- energywise homes
- energywise business
- energywise transport
- New Zealand's efficient and renewable electricity system
- Government leading the way
NZEECS programmes are forecast to deliver the following savings:
Stationary energy (electricity plus industrial processes and heat)
30 PJ of energy, 9.5 PJ of extra renewable energy for industrial and heating purposes per year plus 5-6 million tonnes of emissions savings per year by 2025
Transport
Cumulative savings of 4.8 billion litres of fuel, 175 PJ of energy and 11.8 million tonnes of emissions by 2025
