SUMMARY:Celebrating 100 years of Energy in New Zealand

Since its first days\, we have built a deeply local and globally networked community that today works collaboratively in nearly 100 countries\, progressing solutions\, inspiring leadership action and promoting the sustainable supply and use of energy across the world. \nNow it is time to celebrate impact in energy and shaping the next 100 years of progress! \nThis celebration seeks to galvanise the world energy community around transforming energy systems at speed and at scale\, activating for a cleaner\, better future for billions of better lives and one healthy planet. \nIn Auckland\, we will celebrate the achievements and challenges of the past\, present\, and future of energy in New Zealand. \nYou will be joining speakers who have made significant contributions to the development and innovation of energy in our country. The event will be broken down into four speakers discussing four separate periods: the 1920s-1950s\, 1960s to 1984\, 1984 to 2000s\, and 2000s onwards. \nSpeakers include: \nTina Schirr – Executive Director\, BusinessNZ Energy Council /World Energy Council New Zealand\nTina will set the scene talking about some of the major milestones that happened in energy around the world. \nRebecca Turner – Family Director\, Board of Directors – Todd Corporation\nRebecca will focus on Todd’s contribution to the development of the NZ energy sector\, particularly in the 50’s and 60’s with the Taranaki exploration and production involving her grandfather\, Sir Brian Todd. \nDavid Reeve – Director Whiteboard Energy\nDavid will delve into what the sector looked like leading up to the 1950s\, detailing how it produced\, delivered\, and consumed energy over time\, exploring the challenges and opportunities faced during this time. \nJohn Boshier – Company Director and author of Power Surge: how Think Big and Rogernomics transformed New Zealand\nJohn will provide insights from his book Power Surge\, including the Think Big era which had profound economic\, political\, and social implications.
