New Zealand has abundant natural resources but relies heavily on imported oil and gas. The country has developed several energy policies to increase energy security and efficiency. The New Zealand Energy Strategy sets strategic direction for the energy sector. The New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy promotes energy efficiency, conservation and renewable energy through targets, programs and funding support. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority implements programs to encourage energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption among homeowners and businesses. New Zealand faces challenges balancing energy security, affordability and environmental goals.

26. NZ ENERGY STRATEGY (NZES) NZES sets the strategic direction of the energy sector and the role energy will play in the New Zealand economy. NZES structure:

28. Develop petroleum and mineral fuel resources Develop renewable energy resources Embrace new energy technology Competitive energy markets deliver value for money Oil security and transport Reliable electricity supply Better consumer information to inform energy choices Enhance business competitiveness through energy efficiency An energy efficient transport system Warm, dry, energy efficient home Best practice in environmental management for energy projects Reduce energy-related greenhouse gas emissions

29. New Zealand Energy efficiency & conservation strategy, NZEEcs

30. NZ ENERGY efficiency & conservation STRATEGY (NZEecS) Prepared under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2000 to promote energy efficiency, energy conservation and renewable energy in New Zealand. It proposes Government's policies, objectives, and targets for the next five years (to 2015), and the means by which these will be achieved. NZEECS targets and objectives provide a clear direction and rationale for future policy and action.

38. WHO… Organization set up by the NZ Government to encourage, support and promote energy efficiency, energy conservation, and the use of renewable sources of energy.

39. WHAT… Helps New Zealanders at home and in business understand and overcome the barriers to being more energy efficient and using more renewable energy.

40. What eeca do…..

41. Standards & ratings

42. HOW… Runs a number of work programmes and funds to support and promote energy efficiency, energy conservation, and the use of renewable sources of energy.

43. Programmes are delivered through partnerships, with the private sector, community groups, industry associations and central and local government. The programmes as below:

44. EECA provides funding to make it easier for businesses and householders to choose energy efficiency and renewable energy. Currently funding offer for:

45. Conclusion

46. conclusion New Zealand's energy solution is not a simple one. The big issue is security of supply. Solving the problem is a balancing act: security versus price versus the environment. However, NZ have a number of different options to help fill their energy gap over the next couple of decades. Unfortunately, each of them comes with its own set of very different pros and cons.
