This section brings together analysis and practical pathways for transitioning Aotearoa’s energy system toward a more resilient, affordable, and low-emissions future.
Aotearoa’s Energy Future
A practical, evidence-based pathway to reduce dependence on gas while strengthening energy security and lowering long-term costs.
This report outlines:
- the implications of declining gas supply
- how gas is used across the economy
- practical transition pathways across sectors
- the risks of relying on imported LNG
- a coordinated approach to managing the transition

Series: Rethinking Aotearoa’s Energy Future
This series explores key aspects of the transition in more detail.
Each post builds on the previous one, moving from system understanding to practical action.
- Why LNG is the wrong solution for Aotearoa’s energy future
- Dry-year risk: What critics get right — and wrong
- Aotearoa’s advantage: How solar power protects our hydro lakes
- Pathways for the transition from gas
- Policy, risk, and the direction of our energy system
- Why electricity prices are rising and how to stabilise them
- Local control and distributed energy
Take Action
The direction of Aotearoa’s energy system is being shaped now.
