INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
It is a world leading exampleof a well-functioning energy

market, which continues to work effectively.”

1

The country is endowed with a diverse range of energy

sources, notably renewables. Among IEA member countries,

New Zealand has the highest penetration of geothermal energy

and a significant contribution from hydro.

Without any direct subsidies or public support, their share in

electricity and heat supply has grown in recent years, as a result

of cost-competitive geothermal and hydro and very good

conditions for wind power. This performance is a world-class

success story among IEA member countries.”

Reliability

>Coal plant retirements and growing intermittent generation

have reduced system stability

>“With increasing growth in variable renewable energy

resources, both demand and supply are now exposed to

the vagaries of weather ... impacting AEMO’s ability to

meet demand on extreme peak days”

Pricing

>Wholesale and retail price increases driven by thermal

retirement and gas price linkage to international LNG market

>“there is a severe electricity affordability problem across

the NEM ... putting Australian business and consumers

under unacceptable pressure”

Solar

>Still a niche in the NZ electricity market

>1m solar panels is equivalent to ~1% of national demand

>Solar generation is not well matched to NZ’s demand profile

which peaks in winter evenings

>“Given rapid changes in electricity-generation technology and

potential effects of rising electricity prices on adoption of low-

emissions technology in other parts of the economy, the

Government should not use subsidies or regulation to favour

particular technologies that generate low-emissions electricity”
