The total energy saved is 8 GWh in 2006, when MEPS is introduced, rising to 29 GWh in
2025. The cumulative energy savings between 2006 and 2025 is 392 GWh, and the net present
value of these savings at a discount rate of 10% based on a current energy cost of 7.3 c/kWh is
$8.3 million.
9.2 Trans-Tasman Trade Agreement
CER is a series of agreements and arrangements that began with the entry into force on 1
January 1983 of the New Zealand Australia Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement.
Total free trade in goods was achieved by 1990 (five years ahead of schedule) with the
elimination of all tariffs and quantitative restrictions. The Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition
Agreement of goods (and occupations) means that goods that are acceptable for sale in one
jurisdiction can legally be sold anywhere in Australia and New Zealand. A joint communiqué
