Challenges to delivering New Zealand a sustainable energy future
Concerns over dramatic price increases, constraints on fuel supplies, and the future impacts of climate change are escalating energy policy up government agendas worldwide.
A reliable and sustainable energy system is fundamental to New Zealand's social and economic prosperity. And while the challenges to delivering a sustainable energy future will make for complex decision making in the years ahead, it is vital we act now to foster the investment confidence needed to succeed.
The Ministry for Economic Development, responsible for ensuring New Zealand's business environment promotes productivity growth, is taking the lead towards developing a forward looking energy strategy for New Zealand. The New Zealand Energy Strategy aims to identify priorities and develop an action plan towards achieving the Government's sustainable energy objectives.
David Smol, Deputy Secretary Resources and Networks, leads an interactive forum on New Zealand's Energy Outlook. Exclusive to NZCID members and special guests this is an unmissable opportunity to debate the issues and examine strategic policy work in progress, with the Government's lead organisation...

8 Aug 06 - Presentation to Hon. Annette King, Minister of transport
Against the backdrop of the launch of the 2006 NZ Herald Mood of the Boardroom - significantly “transport infrastructure” still peaking in the top four concerning economic factors - the meeting between the Minister for Transport Hon. Annette King; Secretary for Transport, Alan Thompson; and the New Zealand Council for Infrastructure Board and Executive proved to be very constructive. The meeting indicated alignment on a number of issues. Further top level meetings facilitated by the Minister to examine transport issues and develop workable solutions moving forward have been committed to as a result.

Achieving public sector outcomes with private sector partners
Thinking about partnering? If you are a decision-maker and you’re thinking about entering into a partnering arrangement, you’ll need to consider the issues and risks. "Partnering” in its various forms is gaining in popularity in other countries as a means of building new infrastructure and delivering public services. There are also signs of increasing interest in this approach to procurement in the public sector in New Zealand, particularly in local government. Examples of partnering range from contracts where the private sector finances and owns public infrastructure to arrangements where public and private sector organisations work closely together as one team sharing risks and rewards. This report aims to inform leaders and decision-makers about the key issues they need to consider across the public sector and for individual projects. It draws on overseas experience and provides examples of partnering arrangements in place in New Zealand...

7th Annual New Zealand Power Summit: Challenges Facing the New Zealand Energy Sector
The American comic writer Earl Wilson (1907-1987) once said that "Benjamin Franklin may have discovered electricity, but it was the man who invented the meter who made the money." While there’s a certain amount of truth in that statement, the reality is that no one is going to make any money out of electricity – nor, more important, is anyone going to benefit from electricity - if no one gets to generate it; and if, having been generated, we can’t transmit it to the market...

Launch of the NZ Council for Infrastructure Development
I would like to begin by welcoming the launching today of the NZ Council for Infrastructure Development. We need well-informed debate on the issues around infrastructure and its role in building the economy and sustaining our quality of life, and I look forward to the Council making a valuable contribution to that interchange. Given the very large, long-term resource commitments involved in infrastructure development, poor quality debate, especially if it is driven by sectoral interests, can have quite major consequences. We learned that lesson with the Think Big projects...
