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.
