Energy Leaders Series with BEC and Z Energy

Join us for our new Energy Leaders Series, 3 engaging and thought-provoking panel sessions with CEOs and key executives from across the energy sector, brought to you by BEC and Z Energy.

Panel 1 – Energy Trilemma: How Executives are ensuring energy security as New Zealand decarbonises
Topic: The role of the energy sector ensuring energy security as New Zealand decarbonises

In this series, you will have the opportunity to meet with CEOs and key executives sharing insights, shaping the future, and shifting the paradigm of the New Zealand and global energy market.

During three sessions, you will learn how leaders collaborate to address the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition.

Don’t miss this chance to network with other peers from across the industry, and to join the conversation on how to create a sustainable, affordable, and secure energy system for New Zealand.

We believe that now, more than ever, it is crucial to collectively shift the paradigm of the New Zealand and global energy market.

In our first episode, titled “Energy Trilemma: How Executives ensure energy security as New Zealand decarbonises,” we will explore how energy security can be bolstered across the entire energy system, using strategies to improve resilience against domestic and international supply shocks, while minimising costs for consumers.

As traditional fossil fuels decline and alternative fuels gain prominence, what are the primary risks associated with fuel importation, production, and utilisation in New Zealand? Our speakers will delve into these challenges and identify opportunities for mitigation.

Panellists will weigh the risks against potential gains, including quick wins and long-term improvements needed to balance fuel security.

Our panel includes:

• Lindis Jones, Chief Executive – Z Energy
• James Miller, Head of Capital Planning – Auckland Airport
• Mike Fuge, Chief Executive – Contact Energy
• Facilitator – Rebecca Mehrtens, Energy and Industrial Leader – Aurecon
