Geothermal Energy Market of New Zealand
Geothermal energy utilisation has a long history in New Zealand (NZ). The country is today a member of the 1 GW club of geothermal countries with an installed geothermal power generation capacity of 1,038 MW. Today, geothermal energy contributes around 17-18% of the total electricity generated in the country, while fossil fuels still represent around 50% of supply. The Wairakei geothermal power plant has been in operation since 1958 and is one of the longest running plants. Engineers from New Zealand have been instrumental in the support of geothermal development in Indonesia and the wider Pacific region and beyond. There is also an increasing direct use of geothermal resources, among others for the dehydration of milk.
