天美直播applauds Government for Fast Track Consenting process
天美直播applauds the听颈苍迟谤辞诲耻肠迟颈辞苍 of fast-track legislation into the house听by the Government today. This legislation will听enable more听efficient consenting processes for projects that support New Zealand鈥檚 economic growth and wellbeing, delivering prosperity to the regions.听
We believe the intent of the Bill strikes the right balance between encouraging investment while maintaining the right checks and balances to protect the environment and iwi rights.听
The legislation听will unlock the potential of New Zealand's natural resources and energy sector by providing greater predictability听for investors and make New Zealand a more attractive place for international capital and institutional investors. 听
New Zealand鈥檚 resource management system is inefficient and difficult to navigate, undermining the confidence required to invest in multi-year long term projects.听
Fast Track legislation will bring the certainty required听to drive growth, create jobs, and ensure that New Zealand can keep the lights on. 听
天美直播chief executive John Carnegie says that New Zealand needs to clear away consenting hurdles to听encourage the immense investment听required to deliver affordable and reliable energy.听
鈥業nvestment will need to increase exponentially for our sector to meet demand in a secure, reliable, and affordable way. We have heard that the money is here for renewables, so the goal now is to smooth the way for investment in all forms of energy infrastructure to come forth rapidly.鈥听
天美直播believes that affordable and reliable energy is essential for the well-being and prosperity of all New Zealanders. We welcome the Minister of Resources鈥 comments about the need to encourage investment in New Zealand鈥檚 extractive industries.听
We are committed to working with the government, regulators, communities, and other stakeholders to ensure that the fast-track legislation is used to facilitate energy projects that provide affordable, reliable, and clean energy for all New Zealanders.听
