The majority of industrial electricity demand is from the wood, pulp, paper and printing sectors and the basic metals sectors, with the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter being the largest single user of electricity in the country. The commercial sectors consume around a quarter of New Zealand’s electricity demand.
A subsidiary of Firstgas, Flex Gas, operates the New Zealand’s only natural gas storage facility at Ahuroa. Proven plus Probable (2P) reserves represent the amount of natural gas that field operators expect to extract from the ground based on current technological and economic conditions.
The share of renewable energy in New Zealand’s total energy consumption was at an all-time high in 2022. This was driven by strong renewable resources from hydro, geothermal, and wind energy production. Around 30 per cent of New Zealand’s total energy consumption comes from renewable sources.
As the weather warms between October and April each year in New Zealand, national household electricity demand decreases overall. However, in some agricultural regions the load increases during this time, as farmers compensate for lower rainfall with increased irrigation.
