NZ Govt ready to help rush renewable energy plans

The Government is looking at ways to fast-track several renewable energy consent applications to help reach the ambitious goals in the draft New Zealand Energy Strategy, Energy Minister David Parker says.

The Government was considering a “consolidated call-in process” for wind and geothermal projects that would enable a pool of projects to be called in and considered by the same decision-making panel, Parker told the Wind Energy Conference in Wellington yesterday.
