Consultation on the Ban on New Fossil-Fuel Baseload Electricity Generation |
Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE) seeks submissions on this discussion paper by 5pm, Thursday 2nd November 2023.
The electricity system is going through a period of change, and we need to prepare the system to support New Zealand to transition away from emissions-intensive fuels to renewable alternatives.
In 2022, announced through the Emissions Reduction Plan, the Government committed to banning new fossil-fuel baseload electricity generation to send a clear message that this has no future in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We are asking for feedback on the proposed approach to implementing the ban through legislation.
We are asking for feedback on the design of this legislation and whether there should be any exemptions.
