  • The New Zealand Gas Story
    FRONT COVER: A new generation of smart gas meters. AN EDMI Helios residential gas meter currently being trialled in New Zealand by Vector Advanced Metering Services. Below it is a graphic read-out of a day’s consumption from one of the households in the trial, together with other usage data that allows the householder to track consumption patterns and facilitate demand management. These meters are manufactured in Malaysia and are starting to be deployed in Europe. Images courtesy of Vector Advanced Metering Services Message from the Chief Executive Gas Industry Co is pleased to publish the third edition of the New Zealand Gas Story. This Report includes developments in the policy, regulatory and operational framework of the industry since the previous edition in April 2014. Gas remains an essential component of New Zealand’s energy supply. It underpins electricity supply security and is the primary energy for many of New Zealand’s largest industries. A number of these are key exporters and for some gas is the effectively the only competitive energy option for their operations. Gas is also a fuel of choice for over 264,000 residential and small business consumers. The gas sector in New Zealand continued to evolve over the past year. A number of indicators remain positive, but the industry is facing some headwinds: the overall market has grown on the back of a return to full three-train methanol production at Methanex. increased petrochemical demand is offset by a continuing trend towards a gas ‘peaking’ role in electricity generation, with a resulting further reduction in gas use for baseload generation.

  • Nova Energy Limited (Nova) Welcomes the Opportunity to Provide a Submission to the Commerce Commission in Relation to Its Mobile Market Study – Preliminary Findings
    28 June 2019 Andrew Harrison Commerce Commission [email protected] BY EMAIL Submission to the Commerce Commission: Mobile Market Study – Preliminary Findings Introduction 1. Nova Energy Limited (Nova) welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission to the Commerce Commission in relation to its Mobile Market Study – Preliminary Findings. 2. By way of background, Nova is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Todd Corporation, which has been one of New Zealand’s leading energy explorers and producers for around 60 years. Todd Generation Limited, also a wholly owned subsidiary of The Todd Corporation, holds an interest in approximately 170 megawatts of installed power generation capacity. Nova is a supplier of electricity and natural gas to wholesale, retail and industrial markets. In 2018 Nova entered the telecommunications market and currently supplies fixed-line broadband and voice services to residential customers. 3. Nova has recently purchased Total Consumer Services Limited and its corporate group (trading as MegaTEL). The MegaTEL business continues to operate as a standalone division of Nova, meaning that Nova is now an MVNO. This has prompted us to become engaged in the Commission’s Mobile Market Study and submit at this stage of the Study. 4. We have kept our submission brief and have focussed primarily on the Commission’s preliminary findings on MVNOs and general development of the mobile market (i.e. we have not focussed on the Commission’s other preliminary findings regarding consumer engagement). 5. Nova would be happy to meet with the Commission to further discuss our submission and the position of fringe MVNOs in New Zealand, as well as the regulatory options (as recommended below) that would better ensure an effective wholesale MVNO market can develop in New Zealand.

  • THE NEW ZEALAND GAS STORY the State and Performance of the New Zealand Gas Industry
    THE NEW ZEALAND GAS STORY The state and performance of the New Zealand gas industry SIXTH EDITION | DECEMBER 2017 Message from the Chief Executive Gas Industry Co is pleased to publish this sixth edition of the New Zealand Gas Story. It includes developments in the policy, regulatory and operational framework of the industry since the previous edition was published in July 2017. The New Zealand gas industry continues to make a significant contribution to New Zealand’s energy supply and is performing well against Government policy and consumer expectations. However, as Gas Industry Co has been signalling for some time, the role of gas in New Zealand has been changing. This has particularly been driven by three interrelated factors: development of new energy technologies and associated consumer preferences; low upstream investment in a low oil price environment over recent years, with resulting impacts on gas reserves; and developing responses to climate change. The key additional factor which will drive further change is the developing policies of the new Labour- led Coalition Government. Climate change policies included in the new Government’s list of priorities will undoubtedly be a significant influence on upstream and other investment. Coalition agreements provide for introducing a Zero Carbon Act and an independent Climate Commission, based on the recommendations of the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, and for gradual inclusion of the agriculture sector in the Emissions Trading Scheme. The Labour/Greens Agreement includes requesting the Climate Commission to plan the transition to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2035 in a normal hydrological year. For the moment, gas contributes around 22 percent of New Zealand’s primary energy, and provides over 277,000 New Zealand homes and businesses with secure and affordable energy.

  • Energy Policies of IEA Countires
    ENERGY POLICIES OF IEA COUNTRIES New Zealand 2017 Review Secure Sustainable Together ENERGY POLICIES OF IEA COUNTRIES New Zealand 2017 Review INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974. Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 29 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency’s aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change. n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of energy data. n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy efficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies. n Find solutions
