Comprehensive information on and analysis of New Zealand’s energy supply, demand and prices. 45.5% of New Zealand’s primary energy supply came from renewable sources, a record high. Renewable generation capacity increased by 556 MW in 2024. Up 17% or 1262 MW from 2020.
New Zealand’s electricity is mostly generated through renewable sources such as hydro and geothermal energy. Our renewable generation is supplemented by thermal ‘peaker’ plants when demand is high or during dry periods when hydro stores are low.
45.5% of New Zealand’s primary energy supply came from renewable sources, a record high. Renewable generation capacity increased by 556 MW in 2024. Up 17% or 1262 MW from 2020. 85.5% of electricity was generated from renewable sources, down from 88.1% in 2023. Electricity consumption in the food processing sector continued to increase.
Meanwhile, Energy Resources Aotearoa, a New Zealand-based energy company, notes that renewable energy sources provide 82% of the country’s electricity mix and around 40% of its primary energy. The other 60% of New Zealand’s energy comes from oil (32%), natural gas (21%) and a small amount of coal.
