Energy that doesn't cost the earth

New Zealand has always been shaped by natural forces - Sitting between two oceans and across the boundary of two tectonic plates, New Zealand has a rare mix of natural advantages: high mountains and deep lakes, geothermal steam, windswept plains and growing solar potential. Together, they underpin one of the world’s most renewable electricity systems. Today, over 80% of New Zealand’s electricity comes from renewable sources, with the country aspiring to reach 100% by 2030.
