New Zealand has plenty of hydro, geothermal and wind resources, so it mainly uses renewable and clean energy for electricity production, making New Zealand one of the world's top clean energy power users, worthy of the title of 100% Pure New Zealand.

New Zealand's ability to produce electricity extensively from renewable clean energy sources is closely related to its geographical characteristics.

There are many volcanoes and geothermal activities in the North Island of New Zealand. Geothermal power generation is a very efficient and environment-friendly way. The high-pressure steam generated by geothermal energy directly drives the generator set and converts it into electricity.

New Zealand's South Island has many glacial landforms, and the topographic features of high gorge with flat lake make hydroelectric power generation the easiest way to obtain energy.

In the middle of New Zealand, west wind is blown from the Tasman Sea all year round due to the terrain, and many huge wind turbines are installed in the "tuyeres" of Wellington and Masterton. The west wind drives the blades of wind turbines to rotate, creating a steady stream of cheap electricity that is being delivered to New Zealand's national grid.

About 1% of the electricity in New Zealand is generated from other renewable sources, mainly solar panels installed in major companies and homes of residents.

As a terminal energy consumer, you should know some of New Zealand's power company brands in advance and choose the most suitable power plan for you.

There are more than 10 power companies in New Zealand. Their alphabetical order is as follows:

There are mainly three mobile communication companies in New Zealand – Vodafone New Zealand, Spark (formerly known as Telecom), 2degrees.
