Meridian Energy is a Wellington-based utilities company that generates electricity exclusively from renewable sources, primarily hydro and wind. It operates under the Meridian and Powershop brands and serves more than 270,000 customers nationwide, including homes, businesses, and farms. The company is New Zealand's largest electricity generator. In 2026 Meridian obtained consent to build a 120 MW solar farm at Bunnythorpe, near Palmerston North, and to develop a second battery energy storage system and an accompanying solar park there. The same year, Meridian formed a partnership with the Department of Conservation to implement enhanced indigenous biodiversity management in the catchment.
