Trustpower Motukawa Hydro Scheme Monitoring Report
Trustpower Ltd Motukawa HEP Scheme Monitoring Programme Monitoring Report 2010-2014 Technical Report 2014-79 ISSN: 0114-8184 (Print) Taranaki Regional Council ISSN: 1178-1467 (Online) Private Bag 713 Document: 1431923 (Word) STRATFORD Document: 1460648 (Pdf) March 2015 Executive summary Trustpower Limited (Trustpower) operates the Motukawa hydroelectric power (HEP) scheme in the Manganui River and Waitara River catchment. Trustpower draws water from behind a weir on the Manganui River near Tariki and diverts this water through a race to Lake Ratapiko and then through penstocks to the Motukawa Power Station. The power station discharges into the Makara Stream, a tributary of the Waitara River. Consents for the Motukawa HEP scheme allow Taranaki Generation Ltd to maintain structures, to take, divert and discharge water, and to disturb the bed of Lake Ratapiko. This report for the period July 2010-June 2014 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess Trustpower’s environmental performance during the period under review, and the results and environmental effects of their activities. Trustpower holds a total of 23 resource consents, which include a total of 176 conditions setting out the requirements that the Company must satisfy. The Company holds five consents to allow it to take and use water, five consents to discharge water or sediment into the Makara, Mangaotea, and Mako streams, one consent to discharge wastes to land around Lake Ratapiko and four land use permits for bed disturbance and structures in the Manganui River, Mangaotea Stream and Lake Ratapiko. Seven additional consents allow Trustpower to abstract water, and construct and maintain structures in the Mangaotea Stream. -

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. -

Swim-Inability Article
SWIM-INABILITY It’s a clumsy word, the sort of jargon only a bureaucrat could think up, and one not easily found in dictionaries. Despite that, “swimmability” hit its straps in 2017, given currency by the new leader of the Labour Party – now Prime Minister - who had it as one of her three main election planks. If anyone’s to blame for the sudden respectability of this clunky new buzzword for clean rivers and beaches, it’s Jacinda Ardern. Whether her promises of safe bathing will come to pass in Taranaki’s rivers and surf breaks depends on many things that are probably beyond her control. Or anyone else’s for that matter. Most of the time, our waterways are clean and safe. But some of the time, they’re not. Whether 90 percent will become “swimmable” by 2040, the government’s aim, will depend on public demand. WORDS: Jim Tucker PHOTOS: Rob Tucker o the uninitiated, this image is possibly shocking and inconceivable, an unexpected portrait of the Tasman Sea off New Plymouth’s coast after a rainstorm gorged T Taranaki’s hundreds of streams with euphemistically named “suspended solids” from the dairying farmland. It looks full of dirt and bugs, and probably is. But that doesn’t stop people getting out there to go surfing. They’re the initiated, to many of whom the concept of “swimmability” is just that, a vague political construct that has no place in the quest for a perfect wave. Swallowing gobs-full of water is an accepted side-effect, merely “routine” according to one researcher into surfing risks from antibiotic-resistant bugs. -
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. -
THE NEW ZEALAND GAS STORY the State and Performance of the New Zealand Gas Industry 2Nd Edition - December 2013
THE NEW ZEALAND GAS STORY The State and Performance of the New Zealand Gas Industry 2nd Edition - December 2013 186219.4 186219.4 Message from the Chief Executive Gas Industry Co is pleased to publish the second edition of the New Zealand Gas Story. This Report includes significant developments in the policy, regulatory and operational framework of the industry since the first edition was published in February 2013. Gas remains an essential component of New Zealand’s energy supply, and since February we have seen a number of important developments in the gas market, including: significant growth in gas use, with annual gas consumption heading back over 200PJ for the first time since 2002; changes in major uses of gas reflected in rapid restoration of methanol production, partially offset by reduced gas-fired electricity generation; the emergence of two separate wholesale gas spot market platforms, indicating a further maturing of the market; and the commencement of a new pricing and information disclosure regime applying to some gas industry participants, introduced by the Commerce Commission under Part 4A of the Commerce Act 1986. At the same time, expectations for new upstream investment and regulation augers well for ongoing future supply, and existing gas infrastructure is likely to be adequate for the market’s needs until a significant new find triggers the next step-change. Internationally, gas continues to help countries reduce their reliance on more harmful fossil fuels and to transition to a cleaner, more environmentally sustainable energy future. The Report generally continues to paint a picture of an industry that is in good health and on track in terms of consumer needs and Government policy objectives for the sector. -
