The Premier Event for New Zealand’s Energy Ecosystem - Collaborating for a Net-Zero Future
NZ Power is the definitive annual forum uniting the entire energy supply chain — generators, networks, retailers, large energy users, government, innovators, and community leaders — under one roof.
As Aotearoa accelerates toward a net-zero future, the complexity of our energy system demands collaboration, innovation, and decisive leadership. NZ Power is where these conversations happen — and where bold strategies become actionable outcomes.
