A study produced for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority by
Wise Analysis Ltd
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.
