"New Zealad’s current electricity supply crisis requires immediate solutions.
But we argue the government’s emphasis on importing natural gas and
construction of centralised solar farms is a missed opportunity.
The case against gas has been highly publicised because of its greenhouse gas
emissions and substantial costs.
But the government’s focus on large solar infrastructure in rural areas, away
from our main centres, misses a chance to address two urgent issues at once –
the need to cut emissions and to adapt to climate impacts.
Instead, we should plan local renewable energy generation, integrated into
communities, to improve New Zealand’s energy security and disaster
preparedness."
