NZEECS</h3><p>In December 2021, the Energy and Resources Minister decided a new 5-year energy efficiency and conservation strategy is to be developed. This will replace the existing strategy, rather than rolling it over for another 5 years.</p><p>The new strategy will better align with the Government’s climate change and energy system priorities. It is intended that the new NZEECS will complement, and integrate with, the broader Government-led national energy strategy.</p><p>The public will have an opportunity to have their say on the development of the new NZEECS.
