The latest edition of the New Zealand Energy Quarterly has been released, along with the energy supply, demand, price and greenhouse gas statistics for the March 2013 quarter.

Highlights this quarter include:
-Gas production increased 8% this quarter, with Maui being the major driver.
-Domestic crude oil production and exports at lowest levels since mid- 2007.
-Coal production edged up 3% this quarter, though exports have fallen.
-Hydro generation dropped 16% over the quarter due to the dry weather across the country.

Greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation were 4% lower than the level recorded in the March quarter 2012.
