Welcome to Meridian
Giving you the power to make a difference
Nature is speaking and it’s time for us to listen.
Now, more than ever we need to work together because taking care of nature is the only way forward. We’re committed to doing good things with our energy and to show this, we’re working on a range of projects to help Aotearoa decarbonise and achieve a net-zero carbon future. Simply put, when nature thrives, we all thrive.
Making power matter
When it comes to working with communities, we don’t stop at our generation assets. We consider ourselves lucky to partner and work with organisations who share our values and are making a difference all over New Zealand.
Giving kids a kickstart with KidsCan
We believe that every child deserves a decent start at life. Currently, one in five kids in New Zealand live in hardship. KidsCan offer practical, hands-on assistance to thousands of children in schools up and down the country.
As principal partners of KidsCan, we work with them to make sure that kiwi kids have the essentials, so they have the opportunity for a better future.
Kākāpō Recovery Programme
Kākāpō are a taonga species. Sadly, with just over 200 left, theses nocturnal, flightless parrots sit firmly on the endangered species list.
We work with the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Ngāi Tahu to help fund research and initiatives. The Kākāpō Recovery Programme aims to take the kākāpō off the endangered list and bring them back to their former glory.
The future is electric
At Meridian, we believe that decarbonisation is key for the future of our planet. We’re committed to doing good things with our energy, and helping you do good things with yours.
