We undertook a consultation over May and June 2023 on a set of draft assumptions about the future state of the electricity system. These assumptions will be used to produce our regular Electricity Demand and Generation Scenarios (EDGS) publication.
MBIE prepares a range of possible scenarios called EDGS that explores potential future electricity demand and generation in New Zealand. These scenarios are used by the Commerce Commission to assess Transpower’s planning proposals for future capital investment in the electricity transmission grid.
In this consultation, we sought feedback from stakeholders to ensure that the potential scenarios presented, and resulting modelling, accurately reflect the potential pathways that the electricity sector could take. The consultation was open between Thursday 4 May and Tuesday 6 June (previously Monday 22 May).
A Consultation document that proposes assumptions for the modelling of EDGS 2023. This document seeks feedback from stakeholders on the proposed options.
