Adrian Maidment speaks with Camilla Cochran, Funds Delivery Manager at the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). Camilla discusses New Zealand's ambitious transition to sustainable transport, highlighting EECA's new $28 million Low Emissions Heavy Vehicle Fund, which offers up to 25% off the cost of electric and hybrid trucks. She explains how heavy vehicles, while making up only 5% of New Zealand's vehicle fleet, generate nearly a quarter of road transport emissions.Also covered - f EV charging infrastructure across the country, including New Zealand's largest charging hub in Tauranga, and innovative projects like electric hydrofoils in the Hauraki Gulf.Learn about EECA's various funding initiatives, including practical ways for businesses to transition to electric vehicles.LINKEECA - https://www.eeca.govt.nz/co-funding-and-support/products/low-emissions-heavy-vehicle-fund/?apps
Electric vehicle charging poses a serious threat to the energy system if users charge at the wrong time, lines companies say. Most EV owners - more than 4 out of 5 - have so far preferred to use 3-pin chargers or a wall box monitor, according to Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority data. Neither of those options are set up for two-way communication with the grid and they charge as soon as you plug in. That means lines companies struggle to manage demand and they are warning they'll need to spend more than is required to accommodate it. Smart chargers can talk to the grid, target charging away from peak times and cost in the range of $1,000 to $2,000. EECA says its modelling shows widespread smart charger use could save the country $4 billion by 2050 by taking stress out of the grid. The United Kingdom has put in rules enforcing smart charger use, so should New Zealand follow suit? Marcos Pelenur, chief executive of EECA and Electricity Networks Aotearoa chief executive Tracey Kai, join Kathryn to discuss the smart chargers.

On Monday, the government tabled the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Bill, also known as the EECA, for the first reading in Parliament. The proposed law is part of broader efforts to reduce Malaysia's carbon emissions by mandating high-intensive energy users to manage energy consumption. How might this law work in practice? We discuss the implications of the bill with sustainability and climate change expert Dr. Renard Siew.Image credit: Shutterstock.com
Andrew Caseley is outgoing CEO of EECA, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority. He arrived in 2017 to launch a refreshed strategy and resigns as that piece of work concludes.Back then Judith Collins was Minster of Energy, there were 6000 EVs on the road and Bruno Mars was top of the pops. What's changed since then, how is New Zealand progressing towards a renewable energy system, and how many points of 10 does Andrew give himself for his time as CEO?

To use an old but, nevertheless, true saying, it would never have happened in my day. I read with alarm the revelation that TVNZ, a place I have worked for a couple of times over the years, including starting the countries first TV breakfast show about a life time ago, has taken money from the Government. In this case, the money came from a Government energy agency and in return TVNZ produced so-called news stories about climate and climate change. The agency is the EECA, the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority. They spent $300,000 and, in return, got a prime time climate special, a bunch of online content on the TV1 news page, five specific articles on the TV1 website and five social media posts. The breakfast show I once started and hosted gave out five interviews with a series of so-called experts and, indeed, they got an interview on Seven Sharp, another show I once hosted. So, a Government agency can hand over money and get on the news by doing so. If that isn't a scam and a scandal I don't know what is. The defence was that in the corner of the screen was some sort of recognition that the EECA was involved. In my 42 years in this industry, that does not even come close to covering your badly exposed arse. Part of the trouble here is that the media has never been more under scrutiny and it is this very sort of thing that gives the critics all the material they need. Of course, it's made worse that it's a Government department handing over taxpayers money to a Government run media outlet, the same outlet that the same Government was desperate to merge with its Government radio station. That was the same merger that in its rules of engagement, as pointed out by the former TVNZ CEO no less, had editorial independence further down the list of priorities than it already was. You can't claim editorial independence, you can't defend and get exercised about editorial independence as so much of the media have these past handful of tumultuous years, if you are for sale to the Government who get to buy your content for $300,000. Yes, money is tight. The media are in the gun financially, sponsorship and partnerships are real and well established and, to be blunt, most welcome. But that's not what we are talking about here. No one buys an interview on this show. Never have, never will. I would have said the same thing when I was at TVNZ and when I was at TVNZ the thought would have horrified us. I can hand on heart say I would not have touched it with a barge pole. So yes, it would not have happened in my day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most of the population accepts that climate change is real. Most want to do something about it. But what shall we ask them to do? And what's the best way to elicit a response? Recently the EECA, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority, released an updated version of their survey into attitudes towards climate change. The results show that who you are, where you live, and what you earn dictate what you believe and how much you're prepared to do support climate action. Vincent is joined by Jo Bye, GM of marketing and communications at EECA.

Each week the NZ Herald and Newstalk ZB's Cooking The Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's how to stay on top of the power bill in winter. Hosted by Frances Cook. You know it’s cold when everyone suddenly becomes a fan of cuddles. The cats, the dogs, the children, all pile together in a big heap of body warmth, and all you want to do is join them. Even my snobby cats have been trying to dig their way under the covers each morning. But trying to stay warm without going broke isn’t easy, and sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s worth doing, and what’s going to just be an annoyance that saves you about 50 cents. Energy poverty is a real and worrying phenomenon, but turning off the heater needs to be the last resort, because otherwise, your health is at risk. I talked to EECA energywise technical expert Christian Hoerning and how you can stay warm over winter without going into debt. We discussed the best types of heaters, subsidies for insulation, and the other places you can cut back on power so you can afford heat. For the episode, listen to the podcast. If you have a question about this podcast, or an idea for the next one, come and talk to me about it. I'm on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
