Whakatakoto te tūāpapa, Laying the foundation

At Contact, there is a real buzz of collective energy, the kind that comes from people who know their mahi matters for Aotearoa. We are investing heavily in New Zealand’s energy markets and building the next chapter of our strategy, moving from Contact26 to Contact31+, with a clear commitment to lead the renewable energy future of New Zealand.

That ambition is backed by real projects and real momentum. We are progressing renewable developments including battery energy storage, firming solutions, and efforts to get more value from our hydro schemes, all while energy markets evolve and decarbonise. Our grid scale battery work is already taking shape, with commissioning activity underway at our BESS site in Glenbrook, and we are also leaning into long duration flexibility options, including storage approaches such as pumped hydro, because reliability matters just as much as renewables.
