Technical FAQs 4

What is New Zealand's Energy Action Plan?

The Action Plan envisages a sector that enables New Zealand to fulfil its economic growth potential through affordable, stable energy prices for consumers, eficient generation investment and secure, abundant supply; one that continues the transition to renewable energy, supporting and enhancing the country’s emissions-reduction goals.

Will New Zealand invest in battery energy storage systems?

The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko has published a draft two-year roadmap that sets out our work to support investment in battery energy storage systems (BESS). BESS will become increasingly important in the future as New Zealand’s power system relies on more intermittent and variable generation. Work set out in the roadmap includes:

When will the New Zealand energy strategy be published?

We will be updating this page over the course of the year. The strategy will be published by the end of 2024. The Government is developing the New Zealand Energy Strategy to support the transition to a low emissions economy, address strategic challenges in the energy sector, and signal pathways away from fossil fuels.

What are New Zealand's energy strategies?

The government’s energy strategies support the New Zealand energy sector. Production forestry is New Zealand’s largest renewable biomass resource and there are opportunities to make greater use of forestry residues and wood processing co-products to create home-grown, secure and affordable energy.
