The choice of fuel used for storage is critical for security, price stability and environmental impact. There is value in New Zealand having diversity for its storage solutions, as seen by the impact of the lack of gas in Winter 2024. Working with every facet of the energy industry, to help clients respond to business issues and trends.
Residential solar systems and battery storage are expected to play an increasingly important role in New Zealand’s energy future, aligning with EECA’s renewables energy objective. As of the end of 2024, just over 63,000 residential solar systems had been installed—representing 2–3% of New Zealand homes*.
New Zealand’s total energy supply decreased in 2024, mainly due to ongoing field depletion and lower supply of gas. At the same time, growth in domestic renewable energy production saw the share of energy supplied by renewable sources increasing to a record high.
Through the use of efficient technologies and processes, we can improve the affordability and reliability of New Zealand’s energy supply. Demand management is becoming increasingly important as our electricity demand increases and we transition toward greater use of renewable energy sources.
Since the closure of New Zealand’s only oil refinery at Marsden Point, all domestic petroleum needs are served by imports of refined products such as petrol, diesel, and jet fuel. Domestic energy supply is derived from either indigenous production or imported from overseas sources.
Supplying electricity to homes and businesses across New Zealand involves three key elements: generating electricity, transporting electricity to distribution companies, and then selling it to customers.
