Review of output achievements
Output D1: Policy Advice - Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Provide advice on ownership and purchase funding issues
Achieved. Budget approvals were processed as required.
Continue to work on the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (NEECS)
Achieved. In response to the NEECS requirement to look at RMA processes for renewable energy and energy efficiency we worked with councils and government departments to identify barriers. This work resulted in the recently introduced RM (Energy and Climate Change) Amendment Bill. We continued to work with EECA on non-statutory guidance.
Work on the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy Action Plans
Achieved. Energy efficiency regulations on minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) were introduced for fluorescent lighting ballasts and electric water storage heaters. The Ministry confirmed the Government's renewable energy target and preferred mechanisms.
Advise Ministers on approval of the Statement of Intent and Purchase Agreement
Achieved. Advice was provided as required.
Liaison with Crown Entity Boards and management, and advice to Ministers on Crown Entity performance and related matters
Achieved. The Ministry was involved in reviewing the Authority's accountability documents and regularly reported to the Minister. The Ministry, working closely with EECA, undertook analysis and consultation around the target range of 25-55 petajoules of consumer energy by 2012 that had been set in late 2001. The Ministry led the provision of advice that resulted in Government, in September 2002, adopting a target of an additional 30 petajoules of consumer energy by 2012 over and above the consumer energy that came from renewable sources in 2000.
