In 2024, the government put forward the New Zealand Energy Strategy. It aims to meet the challenges of rising electricity demand and a higher share of variable renewable energy sources.
New Zealand's energy strategy links to several sub-strategies, including the Wood Energy Strategy, Government Statement on Biogas, Draft Geothermal Strategy, and the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy.
In 2025, the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment published an overview of New Zealand's energy package, which aims to improve energy security and build stronger markets.
