The BusinessNZ Energy Council (BEC) says improved, system-wide data will help businesses, policymakers and communities better understand New Zealand’s energy transition.
BEC’s Director of Advocacy Catherine Beard says Powering Change’s introduction of a quarterly Measures and Metrics report as part of its refresh will provide a valuable new lens on New Zealand’s energy transition.
“Tracking energy prices, reliability, renewables and emissions over time offers a clearer, whole-of-system view of how the transition is progressing.
“We encourage anyone with an interest in the future of New Zealand’s energy system, including how we maintain security and affordability while reducing emissions, to engage with the Powering Change platform.
Beard says BEC acknowledges the Powering Change team, which is made up of organisations from across the energy system, for their collaborative effort in strengthening understanding of New Zealand’s energy outlook.
“The need for clearer, more accessible information was one of the key actions identified through the Energy Transition Framework, and the refreshed Powering Change platform directly supports that goal.”
The BusinessNZ Network including BusinessNZ, EMA, Business Central and Business South, represents and provides services to thousands of businesses, small and large, throughout New Zealand.
