The document outlines a vision for a "Smarter New Zealand" by the year 2050 through the increased use of smarter energy, transportation, water, and other systems. It describes how interconnected systems that leverage information and anticipate problems through instrumentation could help coordinate resources more effectively. Key steps along the way include establishing stable regulation from 2012-2020, developing a "smart backbone" of digitized infrastructure from 2020-2030, and achieving an "Intelligent New Zealand" through integrated resource management by 2050.

15. The future for energy providers was driven by technological evolution and increasing consumer control CONSUMERS UTILITIES Take advantage of variable pricing by purchasing electricity when it’s cheapest. Generate their own electricity and sell it back to the grid. Decrease carbon emissions by choosing clean electricity sources. Automatically monitor the health of the grid. Remotely sense damage to grid assets and dispatch repair crews. Better predict demand and manage supply accordingly.
Every transaction and change in location, state, temperature, condition then becomes a source of valuable insight . Interconnected From the nano to the global, work can now get done more efficiently—the right capability, from the right source, can be brought to bear on the work. But more than that, interconnected systems offer fertile ground for making the world work better. Intelligent A new kind of enterprise application: Sense-analyze-act. An ability to see and model the future, for better decision-making. Optimal resource allocation across the ecosystem—smart use of natural resources, human energy, and time.
