Impact of a changing climate on our energy system – policy relevant brief

There is debate around the best way to incorporate climate change information in the design of systems or infrastructure, but it is generally agreed that this information needs to be included in energy planning in some form. This research provides the link between these projected climatic changes and their implications for energy generation in New Zealand.

Datasets and guidance from this research can be used by energy sector professionals to incorporate energy-sector specific climate change projections and insights into their planning.
