How we make an impact
We work to create positive change across systems using a combination of three important levers.

Targeted investment across the energy system
When there are significant, evidenced market barriers for the adoption of clean energy and clever technologies, we use our expertise to target investment through co-funding mechanisms.
-
2
Education and information for New Zealanders
We provide education and information to New Zealanders and businesses – resulting in cost savings, resilience, and emissions reductions.
-
3
Regulation of products and technologies
We set standards and use regulations to ensure access to the best-performing products and technologies. We provide evidence and insights to government to help develop energy-related policies.
