Our region’s economy is underpinned by resilient and reliable energy, and we’re investing to keep it that way.

We’re directly investing in renewable energy assets in the North, while strengthening the infrastructure that enables the connection of generation by others. Our goal is to deliver a commercial and diversified return from generation assets, and to position Northland as a key generating region.

Our history is rooted in building power systems, networks, and generation assets that have served as the foundation for regional development. But the next chapter calls for greater ambition and greater focus to enable more renewable generation, increased capacity, and enhanced flexibility to meet future demand. Northpower is strategically prioritising renewable energy investments including hydro and solar assets essential for securing Northland’s energy autonomy and resilience.

In Northland, we are actively developing a portfolio of renewable generation projects designed to deliver real benefits to our communities. This work is a deliberate strategy to strengthen regional resilience, lower energy costs, and give Northland a competitive edge. Affordable, plentiful renewable energy is not just an aspiration, it is a realistic and commercially viable investment opportunity which will strengthen resilience in the North.

Enabling assets that deliver renewable generation gives local businesses and communities direct access to the energy they need to grow allowing communities to thrive, and opportunities to reach across boundaries.

This chapter highlights Northpower’s disciplined approach to investing in renewable infrastructure that will endure for decades. By keeping our focus firmly in the North and channelling resources into renewable energy, we’re doing our part to build an energy system where generation is produced locally.
