Energy

Although energy-rich, New Zealand faces challenges in this sector. With demand often located at some distance from resources and electricity generation, we depend on good infrastructure for reliable supply. This is a complex, inter-dependent and dynamic industry that has continued to change and evolve rapidly, with market mechanisms being used increasingly to allocate resources. Given the importance of energy to the economy the Government will always have a keen interest in the industry’s performance.
