This week on Energy Unplugged, we’re delighted to welcome Margaret Cooney, Chief Operating Officer at Octopus Energy in New Zealand. She joins our Managing Director for APAC, Hugo Batten, and our Head of Australia, Weije Mak, to discuss New Zealand’s power market.
Prior to Octopus Energy, Margaret was the Head of Powershop in New Zealand. She has also held roles at Meridian in New Zealand, and at OFWAT in the UK as their Head of Market Reform.
Main topics include the following:
- New Zealand’s predominantly green energy mix and the key drivers of investment
- Evolving from Demand Side Response to Intelligent Demand in a nodal market with extended, linear grids like those in New Zealand.
- What are the challenges and advantages of operating in smaller, more isolated markets?
