Accelerating the transformation of Aotearoa’s Energy Sector
A Thoughtful Approach to New Zealand’s Clean Energy Future
Kākāriki is a New Zealand-based renewable energy developer focused on delivering large-scale wind, solar, and storage projects that help accelerate the country’s shift to a low-emissions economy. We’re here to support Aotearoa’s transition to clean, reliable, and regionally beneficial energy.
Our 600% Renewables vision imagines a country that generates six times more clean electricity than it consumes today. It’s an ambitious but achievable goal—one that enables deep decarbonisation, attracts new industries, and positions New Zealand as a leader in sustainable energy.
We take a regional approach to development, working with the natural strengths of each part of the country—be it wind, solar, or storage—to create projects that make sense locally and add value nationally. We're focused on projects that are technically strong, environmentally sound, and socially inclusive.
Behind Kākāriki is a team of experienced energy professionals who care deeply about impact. We bring global capability and local knowledge, and we’re motivated by a shared commitment to building projects that stand the test of time—for communities, for the climate, and for future generations.
