The Government of New Zealand agreed in November 2006 to a five and a half year solar water heating programme with a total budget of NZD 15.5 million for the first three and a half years on top of the existing Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) funding. Funding levels for the final two years will be decided after a review in 2009. The programme increases demand through information, demonstration and promotional programmes, and direct financial incentives.
