Mr Simon Berry, Partner at Berry Simons joins us in March to discuss ‘Geothermal Energy in New Zealand – An Overview’.
New Zealand has installed geothermal generating capacity of 750MWe with produces around 13% of New Zealand’s electricity supply. Most growth has occurred since the 1990’s. This paper provides an overview of geothermal energy production in New Zealand; describes the legal and institutional arrangements for planning for and consenting geothermal energy developments; describes the manner in which key issues (sustainable management; addressing potential adverse effects, etc.) are addressed via those arrangements; and comments on the future of geothermal energy in New Zealand.
