NZ CHOOSES TRANSFORM MODEL TO PLAN LOW CARBON NETWORK INVESTMENTS

摘要

The project has been group funded by all NZ ENA electricity distribution members and provides each of them with access to Transform Model licences at special rates, based on company size. It is being carried out under a contract between the ENA and EA Technology, and is the first major investigative program to emerge from the recently formed NZ Smart Grid Forum. Transform Model is a techno-economic modelling tool, developed by EA Technology for the UK regulator Ofgem and Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), which describes it as a "ground-breaking smart grid evaluation model" and "world-leading in its approach to this challenging area".
