Develop a fully renewable electricity generation system, except for dry winter emergency supply, by 2030
Ensuring research and development is undertaken to establish the potential for woody biomass and biofuels within New Zealand
Support sustainable development and use of geothermal energy
Fund research and development of sustainable energy technologies where New Zealand has a natural advantage, such as wind, wave, current and tide power systems

Labour has set a clear goal of 90% of electricity being renewably produced by 2025
Labour will also encourage the early adopting of new vehicle technologies with vehicle emissions to be reduced by half by 2040

Support the 90% renewables target but not let it get in the way of security of supply
Favours an approach to biofuels and new energy technologies that focuses on incentives rather than compulsion

Remove regulatory barriers, including legislative barriers to encourage new electricity generation using hydro, geothermal, wind and tide
Substantially boost investment in research and development for alternative energy systems and technologies (including hydrogen, ethanol and other biofuels)
Encourage and mandate ethanol and other bio-fuel alternatives to petroleum based fuels as long as the supply of such alternatives is both environmentally and economically sustainable
