Electricity generated from geothermal sources rose 23% over the same period last year.
The new Nga Awa Purua geothermal planted started operations in May, lifting the geothermal sector to account for 13% of the country’s total electricity output of 10,831GWh.
Gerry Brownlee, New Zealand’s energy minister, says geothermal generation is a significant source of electricity and with a few new geothermal projects being planned, the market would continue to grow.
