Navigating the Energy Transition

Supporting Aotearoa New Zealand in leading the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy future.

New Zealand stands at the forefront of the global energy transition, embracing a future that prioritises sustainability, resilience, and innovation. As a nation blessed with abundant renewable resources, New Zealand is uniquely positioned to lead the charge towards a low-carbon economy. The government's targets include achieving 50% renewable energy by 2035 (with an aspirational target for 100% renewable electricity by 2030 in normal hydrological year conditions) and becoming net zero for long-lived gases by 2050. This transition is not merely a shift in energy sources but a comprehensive transformation encompassing technological advancements, regulatory frameworks, and societal engagement. 

Businesses and the government sector play a pivotal role in this journey, navigating challenges and seizing opportunities to foster a greener economy. We specialise in guiding these stakeholders through the complexities of the energy transition, offering insights and strategies that drive sustainable growth and innovation. 

On this page, you will find articles and content that delve into various aspects of the energy transition both in New Zealand and around the globe. Our expert analysis, best practices, and forward-thinking solutions aim to provide a deeper understanding as the energy transition accelerates.
