Position statement: Shortage of electricity shows need for a more resilient energy supply system
The announcement from Transpower that there may be “insufficient generation... to meet demand”on the morning of 10 May is a situation which will become more common if there is too much reliance on electricity for energy supply said the Bioenergy Association.
Brian Cox, Executive Officer of the Bioenergy Association said that “ This is a situation of having too much reliance on a single form of energy. This is very risky for energy users and our communities, but many can mitigate the risk by their own investment decisions.”
