Strategy and policy
22 July 2010

The New Zealand Energy Strategy sets the strategic direction of the energy sector and the role energy will play in the New Zealand economy.

The Government consulted on the attached draft New Zealand Energy Strategy (2010).  Replacing the 2007 energy strategy, the strategy has been updated to align with current government energy policy priorities and to reflect a stronger focus on economic development. 

At the same time the Government consulted on a draft New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy, a companion strategy specifically focused on the promotion of energy efficiency, conservation and renewable energy.

Submissions on both strategies closed Thursday 2 September 2010. More infomation on the strategy is available on MED's website www.med.govt.nz/energystrategy

NB. The current New Zealand Energy Strategy and New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy was released on 30 August 2011.
