As Minister Brownlee has just announced the NZ government’s intention to join the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) we thought we should update you on our collaboration with Dr. Eric Martinot, the author of the influential REN21 Renewables Global Status Report.
Last year we contributed research towards the current edition of the REN21 Renewables Global Status Report, providing information about the renewable energy initiatives of Christchurch, Dunedin, Waitakere, and Wellington city councils.
Now we’re working with Dr. Martinot to expand the scope of the report by including additional New Zealand cities and by developing a systematic method of analysing the “enabling factors” that make renewable energy initiatives a reality at a local government level and the ways in which the outcomes of such initiatives are measured.
