  1. EECA and Sustainable Energy Research Plans and Opportunities Dr Sea Rotmann, OERC Symposium 2008

  2. How do we fit into the wider energy research landscape in NZ?

  3. Wider strategic context • Developing a NZ Sustainable Energy Research Strategy (under SEOG) • Collaborating on a Demand Side Research Strategy (for FRST, with NERI) • Supporting NZES/NZEECS/NZTS • Including multi-stakeholder, multi-disciplinary, whole energy systems approach • Supporting FRST and MoRST (operational and policy) • Support NERI and partners • Capability building • International linkages

  4. EECA internal research • Programme-specific, operational research  short-term, largely applied, technical or policy research, some monitoring and data gathering (usually consultants, 1-3 months) • Longer-term, strategic, collaborative research (cross government or FRST funded research, 1-5 years)

  5. Two main strategic streams • End-use Service Benefits Research Programme • Objective – to understand more fully the direct and indirect benefits to end users and the economy from energy efficiency interventions. • End-user understanding • Objective – to understand more fully the underlying value drivers that influence end user behaviour and barriers to uptake of sustainable energy

  6. Examples of EECA research projects • Energy Domain Plan • HEEP/BEEP/End-use database/Potentials model • Energy cultures (with Uni Otago, Mercury) • Energy innovation and innovation governance (Lincoln, Otago) • Multimodal elasticities for demand response in residential sector (Canterbury) • Create acceptance/Change Behaviour (EU)
