Using climate scenarios in practice

We have developed four climate scenarios to explore how New Zealand and the globe’s transition to net-zero (or lack of) will affect our gas and electricity networks over the short, medium and long-term. 

These scenarios have been embedded in our asset management planning frameworks to better understand potential futures as New Zealand transitions towards a low emissions economy and inform investment decisions across our gas network. This approach supports a balanced focus on resilience, safety and customer as the energy landscape continues to evolve.  

By sharing our approach, we aim to build confidence across the sector that climate scenarios can be used to support resilient investment decisions that deliver value for customers, and support transparent, decision-useful disclosures.
