New Zealand Renewable Energy Report Overview

In its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), New Zealand has pledged to decrease the country’s GHG emissions by 50% from 2005 levels by 2030. The government is also considering the phase-out of coal-fired power plants by 2027, however, a definitive decision is yet to be made.

The New Zealand renewable energy policy handbook offers comprehensive information on major policies governing the renewable energy market in the country. The report also discusses renewable energy targets and plans along with the present policy framework, giving a fair idea of the overall growth potential of the renewable energy industry. Moreover, the report provides major technology-specific policies and incentives provided in the country.

Major Policies & Incentives Energy Strategy 2011-2021 (Energy Strategy 2050), Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy, 2017-2022, National Policy Statement for Renewable Electricity Generation, Buy-back Rates for Solar Power, Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), Zero Carbon Bill, Bioenergy Initiative, Crown Loans Programme, and Maori & Public Housing Renewable Energy Fund.

New Zealand Renewable Energy Market Dynamics

The Ministry for Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) acts as the regulatory steward of New Zealand’s energy regulatory system and is responsible for developing regulatory policy in the energy sector. The Electricity Authority (EA) oversees the efficient operation of the electricity industry, undertakes market facilitation measures, and monitors and enforces compliance with electricity market rules. The EA is also responsible for the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010.

New Zealand’s renewable power sector has grown rapidly in recent years, on account of several incentive programs and subsidies rolled out by the government in the form of tax reliefs, capital cost grants, and favorable power tariffs for renewable power. Apart from these incentives, the government ensures priority dispatch for power from renewable sources and enforces quota obligations on the stakeholders.

Major Policies & Incentives in the New Zealand Renewable Energy Market

Some of the major policies & incentives in the New Zealand renewable energy market are the Energy Strategy 2011-2021 (Energy Strategy 2050), Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy, 2017-2022, National Policy Statement for Renewable Electricity Generation, Buy-back Rates for Solar Power, Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), Zero Carbon Bill, Bioenergy Initiative, Crown Loans Programme, and Maori & Public Housing Renewable Energy Fund.

Energy Strategy 2011-2021 (Energy Strategy 2050): The New Zealand Energy Strategy (NZES) was first introduced on 11 October 2007, to maintain a feasible, low emissions energy system and explain the steps that will be taken to make this aim a reality. NZES addresses the country’s core energy challenges, namely the need to cut in response to climate change and provide clean, secure, economical energy while accounting for the environment.

National Policy Statement for Renewable Electricity Generation: The National Policy Statement for Renewable Electricity Generation 2011 (NPS REG) sets out the objectives and policies for renewable electricity generation under the Resource Management Act 1991. The primary objective of the policy is to recognize the national significance of renewable electricity generation activities by providing for the development, operation, maintenance, and upgrading of new and existing renewable electricity generation activities.

Zero Carbon Bill: In November 2019, the New Zealand parliament unanimously passed the Zero carbon bill, showing their commitment to the Paris Agreement into law. The Zero Carbon Bill proposes to set a new 2050 target to reduce emissions. The bill also aims to reduce emissions of long-lived gases (including carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide) in New Zealand to net zero by 2050, while stabilizing emissions of short-lived gases (including methane) either at current or reduced levels.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
