新西兰的可再生能源与能效

Renewable energy and energy efficiency in New Zealand

新西兰的主要电力来自水电站。尽管风力发电比重较小,但是随着对风电资源的更多利用,新西兰风力发电比重会快速增大。地热能相对成本较低,作为新西兰固有的发电形式有助于满足日益增长的电力需求。利用太阳能热水系统和将太阳能辐射转化为电能在新西兰应用普遍。新西兰能效和节能管理局促进企业、政府、社区和个人协作,把能效和可再生能源融入到日常活动中。

New Zealand gets a lot of its electricity from hydroelectric power stations.Wind generation in New Zealand generates a small but rapidly growing proportion of the country ＇ s electricity,as New Zealand makes increasing use of its outstanding wind resources.Geothermal energy is a relatively low cost and indigenous generation option that contributes to New Zealand ＇ s growing demand for electricity.Solar water heating systems and photovoltaic conversion of radiant energy to electricity are commonly used in New Zealand.EECA works with businesses,government,communities and individuals to integrate energy efficiency and renewable energy into their everyday activities.
