Budget to Increase Energy Hardship – Green
- The 2025 Budget maintains current government policies, impacting energy hardship and delaying a low-emissions, low-cost energy network transition in New Zealand.
- This budget follows last year's $56 million cut to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority, further reducing support for households and businesses.
- It allocates $4.8 billion over four years to renewable energy and storage investments intended to lower emissions and costs, but critics say it lacks sufficient action and ambition.
- Scott Willis, the Green Party Energy Spokesperson, criticized the Budget for lacking sufficient funding to maintain reliable electricity supply and to drive progress towards a cleaner, more affordable energy system.
- The budget’s continuation of the existing energy market structure may increase energy hardship for 110,000 households and sustain fossil fuel reliance, raising concerns about future climate impacts.
