Whakatakoto te tūāpapa - Laying the foundation

At Contact Energy, we are proud to be one of Aotearoa’s leading energy generators and retailers, driving a cleaner, smarter energy future. Our focus is on mahi that matters, powering homes and businesses with renewable energy while looking after our people, our communities, and the environments we operate in.

Our Wairakei power plant sits at the heart of our geothermal legacy. It is a complex and fascinating environment where technology, engineering, and the whenua come together. The site plays a critical role in keeping New Zealand powered, and it is a place where skilled technicians make a real difference every day by keeping our systems safe, reliable, and performing at their best.
