Answer

EA: As an Independent Crown Entity, the Electricity Authority is not mandated under the Carbon Neutral Government Programme. The Authority does measure and report on its greenhouse gas emissions via its Annual Report: https://www.ea.govt.nz/documents/8633/Annual_Report_202425.pdf EECA: "EECA spent $3,066,240.97 in grant funding related expenditure over the 2025 calendar year, to support other organisations to deliver under the Carbon Neutral Government Programme (M037) . EECA has also spent $7,553 to comply with the Carbon Neutral Government Programme as an organisation over the 2025 calendar year."
