The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority's role under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2000 includes preparing and administering an energy efficiency strategy for New Zealand. In 2001, the first five-year National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy was released. When the Strategy was updated in October 2007, it was renamed the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (NZEECS), and treated as a companion piece to a new, more general, Energy Strategy produced by the then Ministry of Economic Development for the Government. The current New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy 2011 - 2016 was released simultaneously with the Energy Strategy. The current Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy's focus is on promoting energy efficiency, energy conservation and renewable energy. It is prepared in accordance with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2000 and is in force for a period of five years. In addition to an economy-wide target to continue to achieve a rate of energy intensity improvement of 1.3 percent per annum the Conservation Strategy sets out objectives for six sectors: Transport: a more energy-efficient transport system, with a greater diversity of fuels and alternative energy technologies Business: enhanced business growth and competitiveness resulting from energy intensity improvements Housing: warm, dry and energy-efficient homes with improved air quality to avoid ill-health and lost productivity Products: greater business and consumer uptake of energy-efficient products Electricity system: an efficient, renewable electricity system supporting New Zealand's global competitiveness Public sector: greater value for money from the public sector through increased energy efficiency. By law, there must always be a five-year national energy efficiency and conservation strategy. The current Strategy expires on 30 August 2016 and can be replaced or rolled over - the Minister of Energy and Resources has decided to replace the current NZEECS and to do this in conjunction with some work on specific energy targets.

Europe’s Russia Sanctions Have a Major Blind Spot

Over the last two years, the EU and UK have emerged as leading actors in imposing sanctions on Russia. But people like Maria Demertzis, Professor at the European University Institute in Italy, have raised questions around the effectiveness of the sanctions campaign, as European institutions continue to operate profitable subsidiaries in the country with little scrutiny. UK and EU regulators should broaden their sanctions campaign by increasing scrutiny of European businesses that remain economically exposed to Russia. The new UK Foreign Secretary,…

The AI Boom Could Triple Data Center Water Use by 2030

The massive data center capacity scale-up underway has focused attention on the scale of water required for these facilities to operate. Rystad Energy estimates that without water-saving measures in place, global water consumption by data centers could rise to 644 billion liters per year by 2030. However, active mitigation could reduce demand to 388 billion liters, representing worst- and best-case scenarios as data center capacity ramps up, driven largely by the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life. Forecasting the…

Venezuela Helped Build OPEC. Now It May Help Break It Apart

Venezuela helped create OPEC. More than six decades later, it is considering walking away, and Washington appears perfectly happy to hold open the door. Caracas is weighing whether to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with discussions that have included U.S. officials. No final decision has been made. Venezuela produced about 1.117 million barrels per day (bpd) in July according to OPEC’s secondary sources, and is currently exempt from OPEC production quotas after…
