Whakatakoto te tūāpapa - Laying the foundation

At Contact Energy, our purpose is simple and ambitious, to put our energy where it matters. We are proud to play a leading role in decarbonising Aotearoa New Zealand’s energy system, backing renewable generation that supports communities, industry, and the future of our planet. Tikanga, safety, and care for our people and environment sit at the heart of how we work every day.

Our Taupō geothermal assets are a cornerstone of that journey. From Wairakei and beyond, these long‑lived, complex assets provide reliable baseload renewable energy and demand deep technical expertise to operate safely, efficiently, and sustainably. Working here means being part of a legacy, while shaping what comes next for geothermal energy in Aotearoa.
