Hi Officers, I would like to inquire if your organization has data on regional energy use in New Zealand, including Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Hawke's Bay, Taranaki, Manawatū-Whanganui, Wellington, Tasman/Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast, Canterbury, Otago, and Southland. Specifically, I would like to inquire: (i) Does your organization have data on energy use by region in New Zealand from 2007 to 2021 or a partial time slot? (ii) If the answer to the first question is no, does your organization have relevant raw data that I can compile for regional energy use data? For example, regional energy use from different sources including liquid, gas, solid fuels, and so on. (iii) If your organization does not have relevant data, then what organizations may I turn to for help?

For research purposes，these data will be used to analyze the significant impact of energy use on carbon emissions in all New Zealand's regions. My supervisors and I firmly believe that this research is blank but important for New Zealand to achieve carbon neutrality. However, I have not been able to collect it by any means.

These data will be processed by several quantitative methodologies, for example, the econometric method for non-commercial purposes. Before we publish our research results publicly, we will inform the relevant institutions about our specific processes for handling these data.
