Hi Fabiano
You signed up to Powerswitch with a gas connection, so we thought you might want to hear the latest news. The Climate Commission is making a recommendation for no new gas connections from 2025 in its draft plan for cutting the country’s emissions. If this is adopted into policy there will be impacts on New Zealand households.
What does this mean for me?
If you’ve already got gas in your home, rest assured, you don’t need to rip out your hobs. As products come up for replacement, you might want to consider going down a different route. If you’re weighing up a new connection or looking to install a new water heater, gas cooking or fixed heating, it could be worth thinking twice. There’s a ban on new gas exploration already in place, and uncertainty around the future of gas in New Zealand, so it’s not worth investing thousands on something that may not go the distance.
