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.
Kākāpō are one of New Zealand’s most endangered species, with a total population of around 145 birds.
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.
