A smart city is a city that uses technology to provide services and solve city problems. As urban migration continues, with the United Nations predicting that 70% of the world''s population will be living in cities and urban areas by 2050, cities will increase in size by roughly 2.5 billion people over the next thirty years.
The New Zealand electricity industry is currently being plagued with a range of issues, such as recurring low hydro inflows, dwindling gas reserves, transmission constraints and limited ability to invest in distribution. On a more global scale, it is becoming apparent (at least from where we sit at the bottom right hand corner of the world) that the electricity industry in
Having recently switched from investment banking on Wall Street in New York to leading a corporate team on Willis Street in Wellington, I am often asked to compare the quality of life and business climate between the two, and I always answer with a question – why did we not make the move years ago? Therefore, as a new and somewhat objective observer, I offer

The research programme was developed in consultation with key stakeholders in New Zealand's electricity grid, including the Electricity Authority, Transpower, EDBs and the Electricity Engineers’ Association.
New Zealand uses a system of emissions budgets and emissions reduction plans to navigate towards net zero. Emissions budgets place limits on emissions in five-yearly budget periods and serve as stepping stones towards the 2050 target.
2 New Zealand has a ‘split-gas’ target for domestic emissions, which considers biogenic methane separately from all other greenhouse gases. This reflects the different warming impact that methane has compared with other greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. The Government wants to reduce net emissions in cost-effective ways.
Net emissions are the difference between gross emissions and carbon removals (figure 1.1). 2 New Zealand has a ‘split-gas’ target for domestic emissions, which considers biogenic methane separately from all other greenhouse gases.
