Hear from Finance Minister Nicola Willis on key initiatives and investment needed to grow the economy. Minister Willis will then join a panel discussion to explore the opportunity for New Zealand to build out its energy system with abundant, reliable renewable energy, how that can drive economic growth and productivity, the role of technology, and what is needed to move industry and consumers away from fossil fuels. Investors will gain a deeper understand of how these trends will play out, how can they seize opportunities and benefit from the transition to renewables without compromising returns.
Reliable, affordable energy supports business growth, job creation (and retention), and productivity gains. As renewable electricity becomes increasingly cost effective, the business case for electrification strengthens, increasing industrial efficiency and cost competitiveness.
