Whakatakoto te tūāpapa | Laying the foundation

At Contact Energy, our purpose is to improve the lives of New Zealanders by leading the way in renewable energy. For decades, we’ve been harnessing the natural power of Aotearoa, investing in innovation, sustainability, and the people who make it all happen. We’re proud of our culture, one that values care for people, collaboration, and doing the right thing, every day.

Our Wairakei geothermal site in Taupō is a cornerstone of our generation portfolio and a place where energy, people, and community come together. It’s a busy, welcoming hub supporting our Generation and Trading teams, and it plays a vital role in keeping the lights on across the motu. This is a site with history, heart, and a strong sense of whanaungatanga.
