新西兰政府拒绝重大太阳能补贴, 尽管有证据表明屋顶太阳能是目前最廉价的电力来源之一, New Zealand’s government has rejected major solar subsidies despite evidence that rooftop solar is now one of the cheapest electricity sources, opting instead for minor regulatory changes like simplified approvals and better consumer info. 只有3%的家庭使用太阳能, 低于澳大利亚33岁的官方人士指出, 主要障碍是预付费用高, 板块一般为10 000美元至20 000美元, 电池一般为10 000美元至20 000美元, 电池则为10 000美元至20 000美元。 With only 3% of homes using solar—far below Australia’s 33%—officials cite high upfront costs, typically $10,000 to $20,000 for panels and another $10,000 to $20,000 for batteries, as the main barrier. 虽然太阳能可以将电费削减40%, 并减少电网压力, 但政府拒绝实施回扣, Though solar could cut bills by up to 40% and reduce grid strain, the government declined to implement rebates, citing concerns over network congestion seen in Australia. 详细的财政支助建议没有公布,倡导者说,缺乏行动妨碍了能源的可负担性和抗御能力。 Detailed recommendations for financial support were not released, and advocates say the lack of action hinders energy affordability and resilience.
