DAY 2: WEDNESDAY 24 MAY MAC’S BREWERY, THE WATERFRONT, WELLINGTON

1.35 Carbon Reduction Opportunities And InnovationDR ANN SMITH | CEO, ENVIRO-MARK SOLUTIONSAnn will outline the importance and value of carbonreduction for the organisations that participate in the CEMARS and carboNZero programmes, examine a range of initiatives implemented by programme participants, both successful and unsuccessful and highlight innovations that have emerged in organisations striving to achieve ambitious reduction targets.

2.05 Responding To An Uncertain Future With Demand ResponseMICHAEL RICHARDSON | DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAMME MANAGER, TRANSPOWER NEWZEALAND LTDOver the next 5-10 years, we expect load profiles on thegrid to remain similar to today, while questions around transmission pricing, carbon price and climate change policy will create uncertainty and tighten security margins. Towards the end of this period, we also expect the uptake of disruptive technologies could start impacting load profile, potentially growing demand and creating pressure to invest in grid capacity. Michael looks at the options we have as we face the complex and rapidly changing landscape of the New Zealand electricity industry of the future.

2.25 Are You Ready For The Future?JOHN ASCROFT | CHIEF INNOVATION OFFICER, JADE SOFTWARE CORPORATION (NZ) LTDFuturist John Ascroft, Chief Innovation Officer at Jade Software, returns to EMANZ to discuss the broad and deep opportunities that new technology will soon open up. Rather than sitting back and waiting for change to happen, John argues that the strategy and mindset that businesses take when considering the future are as important as any innovation.
