Every business leaves a mark.
Meridian’s Certified Renewable Energy Product gives your organisation a credible way to report zero market-based Scope 2 emissions and support renewable electricity generation across Aotearoa. Better yet, every unit of electricity matched through Certified contributes to our Decarbonisation Funds, extending your impact into communities across New Zealand, and each year, eligible customers can use up to 50% of their REC charges to support electrification projects within their own organisation.

Operating a volunteer-run community nursery on council land near Queenstown, the Trust propagates and grows up to 12,000 native plants each year, planting them out onto public conservation land across the basin.
