Regional energy survey 2003

TR 2005/31

Abstract

This report presents the results of a Regional Energy Survey carried out for the Waikato region based on the calendar year 2003.

The purpose of the survey was to establish baseline energy consumption for the region and for Hamilton from which to assess future trends in energy consumption.

A variety of sources were used to estimate energy consumption within the industrial, domestic and transportation sectors. These included:

  • Annual kWh data from electricity line companies within the region.
  • Annual petrol and diesel use data derived from the Local Authority Petroleum Tax data collected by territorial local authorities (TLAs) within the region.
  • Domestic fuel use data collected for selected urban areas using household surveys extrapolated for 2003, and the region based on census heating and population data.
  • Industrial fuel use and energy consumption data collected directly from industry and from resource consent files and Waikato Regional Council staff.
  • Data from Statistics New Zealand, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Economic Development.
  • Fuel use data from Tranzrail.
