New Zealand
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, New Zealand has committed at least USD 3.13 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- At least USD 1.61 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 19 policies (17 quantified and 2 unquantified)
- At least USD 87.94 million for conditional fossil fuels through 5 policies (5 quantified)
- At least USD 356.87 million for unconditional clean energy through 22 policies (21 quantified and 1 unquantified)
- At least USD 1.04 billion for conditional clean energy through 12 policies (12 quantified)
- At least USD 33.20 million for other energy through 5 policies (2 quantified and 3 unquantified)
By energy type, New Zealand committed at least USD 1.62 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 1.59 billion to unconditional oil and gas and at least USD 22.70 million to conditional oil and gas).
In addition, no public money commitments identified for coal.
Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.
Finally, no public money commitments identified for multiple fossil fuels.
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of New Zealand through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

Phase 2 of the scheme ran from December to the end of March 2021.

Across its two phases, the IAFC scheme provided $52 million more funding than the initial $320 that was allocated in March 2020. | " https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/next-stage-airfreight-scheme-keeps-critical-freight-flowing https://www.transport.govt.nz/area-of-interest/air-transport/government-support-for-the-transport-sector/" |

End new direct public support for the international unabated fossil fuel energy sector by the end of 2022, except in limited and clearly defined circumstances that are consistent with a 1.5°C warming limit and the goals of the Paris Agreement. 3.

The original facility comprised two tranches – Tranche A of $600m and Tranche B of $300m. Tranche A will be increased by $400m (taking it to $1b) and Tranche B will be increased by $200m (taking it to $500m). The existing effective interest rates on the facility are currently between 7% and 8% on tranche A and around 9% per annum for tranche B. The new interest rate structure is an all-in margin of 350 basis points (comprising 100 basis point line fee and 250 basis point margin) for Tranche A and an all-in margin of 500 basis points (comprising 100 basis point line fee and 400 basis point margin) for Tranche B. This would result in a total interest rate of approximately 3.80% (using a reference base rate of around 0.3%) for Tranche A and 5.30% for Tranche B (using the same reference base rate of around 0.3%). The agreement also includes a 1% step-up in the Tranche A and Tranche B all-in margins from 29 October 2021. This is a similar feature to the existing facility, albeit with the timing of the step-up adjusted to reflect the new proposed timing of the capital raising. Another feature that has been retained is that if Tranche B is drawn on, then Tranche A will have the same interest margin as Tranche B. These features provide an incentive on Air NZ to minimise use of the facility by seeking out other means of reducing cash expenditure." | https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/government-backs-air-new-zealand-trans-tasman-bubble-opens |

Meridian's decision making must be seen in the context that the New Zealand Government is its majority shareholder at 51%. So when Meridian provided electricity savings worth "well in excess" of $60 million a year in October 2020, that choice is substantively influenced by Government strategy. The Government is also presently involved in a regional "just transitions" process, largely in anticipation of the eventual shutdown of Tiwai smelter, most likely during the 2020s.
