Contact Energy
We’re one of New Zealand’s leading energy generators and retailers, powering the country with electricity, natural gas and LPG.
Over our 20 year history we've built a flexible and largely renewable portfolio of electricity generation assets. We own and operate 11 power stations and produce 80-85% of our electricity from our renewable hydro and geothermal stations. Our natural gas and diesel fired power stations operate to ensure the lights stay on for New Zealanders when intermittent renewable sources like hydro and wind plant cannot operate.
