Renewable energy in New Zealand
Solar technologies in New Zealand only became affordable alternatives in the mid-2010s, compared to previous renewable offerings. The uptake in the residential and commercial market, though slow, has
If NZ wants to decarbonise energy, we need to know which
Our analysis indicates wind (onshore and offshore) and distributed solar will make an almost equal contribution to power generation by 2050, with a slightly larger share by utility-scale
Energy in New Zealand 2024
New Zealand relies on a combination of domestically produced and imported fuels to meet its energy needs. A common metric used internationally to measure this is a self-sufficiency indicator, which
New Zealand Wind and Solar Generation Scenarios
This study analysed the wind and solar behaviour at multiple locations across New Zealand, modelling the generated wind and solar power from theoretical systems.
NZTE_Overview of the NZ Energy Market_updated_20241111_AK
New Zealand is a net importer of energy but has a high degree of energy independence with a self-sufficiency index of 73% in 2023. While it exports coal, gas (in the form of methanol) and oil,
The future of energy in New Zealand
Explore how energy is generated in New Zealand, the role of renewable energy, and how it can be used more efficiently to power our country now — and into the future.

Electricity | Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
Low hydro inflows and lower gas supply saw an increase in coal use for electricity generation in 2024. At the same time, increases in wind, solar, and geothermal generation capacity
Understanding New Zealand''s wind resources as a route
Finally, we explore how much wind capacity must be installed to give a 100% renewable electricity system, and the trade-offs between energy storage and spilling wind for achieving this target.
Advancing Solar and Wind: NZ''s Path to Zero Carbon
New Zealand has long been a leader in renewable energy, with over 80% of its electricity generated from renewable sources, primarily hydropower, wind, and solar. The nation has embraced
