The benefits to New Zealand would accrue in energy savings, and avoided carbon charges over the next 20 years with net present values of:

Energy Savings

$8.3 million

Carbon emissions saved

$10.78 million

The costs of such a scheme would be largely funded by retailers and consumers, and could cost $25,000 in administration per annum. The net present value of this at $525,000 is far less than any savings achieved.

It would be possible to introduce such a scheme by the end of 2006 if decisions and consultation begin as soon as possible.
