Transpower has released its March 2023 Whakamana i Te Mauri Hiko monitoring report. These six-monthly reports provide a window into Aotearoa New Zealand’s energy transition, tracking the sector’s progress against future energy scenarios.
March’s monitoring report suggests steady progress toward electrification targets across a number of key industry metrics. The pipeline of grid connection enquiries continues to rise, with sufficient generation in the mix to meet the 2050 net zero emissions target. A corresponding response is being observed from the demand side, with electricity distribution businesses planning increased capacity to meet potential load growth from process heat and transport sectors. The report also points to the rapid evolution of new low emissions options and alternative fuels in the mix, with growth in sustainable aviation, hydrogen and utility-scale solar exceeding original Whakamana i te Mauri Hiko scenarios.
