New Zealand may avoid winter electricity shortages by diversifying energy sources and including biomass.

New Zealand could avoid regular electricity shortages during colder months by diversifying energy sources and including biomass as a fuel. According to the Bioenergy Association, the country should reduce reliance on single forms of energy. This comes amid warnings of insufficient generation to meet demand and looming gas shortages. Food and forestry industries have been identified as potential contributors to a more diverse energy supply.
