Some clear themes have emerged over the past year as we have put in place policies, projects and people to help us Grow New Zealand for All. We are operating in a fast-changing world and our economy must be able to respond as quickly. We need to be future-focused, innovative and collaborative to meet this challenge.
This annual publication provides information on and analysis of New Zealand’s energy sector including statistics on supply, transformation, and demand.
Kei te tino harikoa au ki te whakatakoto atu i te pūrongo ā-tau a Hīkina Whakatutuki mō te tau 2018/19. It gives me great pleasure to present the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) 2018/19 Annual Report.
MBIE progressed a number of work programmes in 2020/21 to ensure protections were in place to increase both consumers’ and producers’ confidence in economic participation. This is essential to economic growth and delivering broader social outcomes. We are proud of many improvements to services delivered to businesses.
A Horizon Europe-funded research project is helping tackle some of the most significant environmental challenges facing the global textile industry, through the UPWEARS initiative.
Jobs are continuing to change as the economy transforms. MBIE supports a responsive labour market where people make the best use of their skills and contribute towards Aotearoa New Zealand’s success. MBIE also influences the market to make sure people and businesses have access to the skills they need.
Results for the July to September 2025 quarter.
MBIE’s sustainability framework supports both the Government’s commitment to having a carbon-neutral public sector by 2025 and broader cultural, economic, environmental and social outcomes for the country.
Low hydro inflows and lower gas supply saw an increase in coal use for electricity generation in 2024. At the same time, increases in wind, solar, and geothermal generation capacity helped offset the drop in hydro generation, with 85.5% of electricity generated in 2024 coming from renewable sources.
At MBIE, we value our people and strive to reflect, embrace and nurture the communities we serve. Our Inclusion & Diversity strategy, Nō Konei – Belong, focuses on having inclusion at the heart of our mahi, to create a sense of belonging.
