EECA and the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) are considering regulatory policy options to increase the energy efficiency for heat pump water heaters (HPWH, also known as hot water heat pumps) in New Zealand and Australia.
Consultation regulation impact statement
A Consultation Regulation Impact Statement (CRIS) has been prepared to look at regulatory policy options for increasing the energy efficiency of HPWH including no change to the current situation (Business as Usual), developing a Minimum energy Performance Standard (MEPS) level with voluntary information provision, or developing MEPS and mandatory information provision. The CRIS was developed by DCCEEW on behalf of the joint New Zealand and Australian E3 programme.
