We’re New Zealand’s largest renewable energy generator and a major retailer.
Our purpose of clean energy for a fairer and healthier world is at the centre of everything we do.
We’re proud to be an energy company that only generates from 100% renewable sources – wind, water and sun.
We sell electricity to our customers through two brands – Meridian and Powershop in New Zealand.
Listed on both the NZX and ASX, Meridian is one of New Zealand’s largest listed companies and employs around 1,000 people across New Zealand. The New Zealand Government is our majority shareholder at 51%.

Community
Being a genuinely sustainable company means supporting and empowering the communities that we are all part of. We’ve been working with national organisations like KidsCan since 2013 as Principal Partner, to provide Kiwi kids with the basics they need to remove the barriers to learning.
We work closely with the Department of Conservation (DoC) and Ngai Tahu as principal partner of the Kākāpō Recovery Programme, ensuring a future of these endangered taonga species.
For the past 14 years, we’ve provided over $8.5 million towards community-led projects through our Power Up Community Funds in the areas where we generate. Building long-term relationships is an important part of what we do.

Principal Partner KidsCan
We believe every child deserves a decent start in life. One in four New Zealand children live in hardship, KidsCan makes a real difference. KidsCan offers practical, hands-on assistance to thousands of children in schools throughout New Zealand. -
Principal Partner Kākāpō Recovery Programme
We're about renewing species. We've joined forces with DOC to support the Kākāpō Recovery Programme, which aims to bring back kākāpō to their former natural range and restore the heartbeat of the land. -
Power Up Community fund
Meridian’s community fund Power Up supports local projects in the areas near our generation assets. It’s one way we can recognise the importance of local communities to our hydro and wind operations.
