新西兰面临能源短缺问题,促使政府计划扭转岸外石油和天然气勘探禁令,推动液化天然气进口。 New Zealand faces an energy shortage, prompting government plans to reverse offshore oil and gas exploration ban and boost Liquefied Natural Gas imports.
新西兰面临能源短缺,造成高电价,对其制造业和出口部门产生不利影响。 New Zealand is facing an energy shortage, causing high electricity prices and negatively impacting its manufacturing and export sectors. 造成短缺的原因包括湖泊水平低、风能和太阳能不足以及缺乏天然气供应。 The shortage is due to factors including low lake levels, insufficient wind and solar energy, and a lack of natural gas supply. 作为回应,政府计划撤销对近海石油和天然气勘探的禁令,并将通过立法,在2024年年底前消除建造液化天然气进口设施的规章障碍。 In response, the government plans to reverse the ban on offshore oil and gas exploration and will pass legislation to remove regulatory barriers to the construction of Liquefied Natural Gas import facilities by the end of 2024. 政府还将考虑允许配电企业拥有发电资产,放宽对拥有发电的电线公司的限制,并改进电力市场监管。 The government will also consider allowing electricity distribution businesses to own generation assets, ease restrictions on electricity lines companies owning generation, and improve electricity market regulation. 专家们警告说,虽然LNG可以提供灵活性,但它不是长期解决办法,不应被视为取代国内天然气。 Experts warn that while LNG can provide flexibility, it is not a long-term solution and should not be seen as a replacement for domestic natural gas. 相反,他们建议把重点放在建设更多的可再生能源基础设施以及储存解决方案上。 Instead, they recommend focusing on building more renewable energy infrastructure with storage solutions.
