The suitability of a feed-in tariff for wind energy in New Zealand—A study based on stakeholders' perspectives

Energy Policy, 2012, vol. 43, issue C, 80-91

Abstract: New Zealand (NZ) aims to expand the deployment of wind energy as one means to achieve 90% of electricity generation from renewables by 2025 and in addition to reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions. Due to electricity market regulations that inhibit market entry for independent developers, New Zealand's wind energy development has been limited to primarily large wind farms developed by a handful of electricity utilities. In contrast to many other countries, NZ lacks policy support for entry of smaller investors into the wind generation sector.
