Sustainable

Energy Forum

The Sustainable Energy Forum (SEF) is a group of individuals and corporate organisations promoting information and supporting action which will help move New Zealand towards a sustainable energy future.

The object of SEF is to promote the transition towards a sustainable energy system in New Zealand. SEF defines a sustainable energy system as being "the sourcing, transformation , use and management of energy in a manner which improves social well-being, while conserving physical resources, maintaining the integrity of ecosystems, and avoiding the transfer of costs to future generations."

SEF promotes this transition in various ways, including preparing submissions and media statements, an electronic energy news and discussion group, its quarterly publication EnergyWatch, and organising conferences and seminars.

Individuals, small energy businesses, institutions, and corporations with an interest in and commitment to sustainable energy are welcome to join the Sustainable Energy Forum. Please see the Membership page for further details.
