Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE) seeks submissions on this discussion paper by 5pm, Thursday 2nd November 2023.
 
Offshore renewable energy is energy generated in or on the sea from wind, ocean currents, light or heat from the sun, rain and geothermal heat. It can come from various abundant, natural and clean sources and can be harnessed in a range of ways.
 
We are seeking feedback on proposed regulations to enable renewable energy development at sea and understand the potential trade-offs in the New Zealand context. The discussion document also seeks feedback on the economics of the regime and interactions with the environmental consenting regime.
