Abstract
The Geoheat Strategy for Aotearoa New Zealand 2017 – 2030 is a cross sector initiative working to increase the direct use of geothermal energy.
The Geoheat Strategy was formulated based on a consultative process undertaken in 2015 – 2017, and the first Action Plan was delivered in 2018-2019. This paper provides an update on strategy implementation, and in particular, introduces the second Action Plan, released in January 2020 for the period 2020 – 2021.
Discussed in this paper are:
• outcomes achieved through the 2018 and 2019 period,
• progress achieved overall towards the 2030 Strategy objectives,
• mechanisms currently being used to deliver the strategy outcomes,
• review of Strategy direction, and
• insight into current and future activities.
