We are an energy retailer and generator in New Zealand, serving 500,000 customers.

Established in 1995, we generate electricity using hydro, geothermal, and gas sources. We’re involved in energy generation and retail, renewable energy, geothermal generation, community investment, and decarbonization efforts.

Our security team handles investigations, daily security tasks, incident response, and monitors our security systems. They also contribute to risk reviews and secure-by-design practices, using tools like MS Sentinel, Netskope, and CrowdStrike.

We are committed to building a better New Zealand. We balance our commitment to lowering carbon emissions and producing renewable energy with ensuring reliable energy access for our customers.

Decarbonization is a major part of our strategy.
