Wholesale
Because of our extensive interests in major producing gas fields, ongoing development of proven reserves and significant exploration programme, Todd Energy is a preferred partner of businesses with wholesale gas supply needs.
Where significant volumes of gas and high reliability of supply are critical requirements to business success, customers choose Todd Energy. We have a proven track record within the industry and currently supply most of New Zealand's major electricity generators, retail energy companies as well as a host of energy intensive industries who rely on gas to power their business success.
Powering a nation
New Zealand's leading electricity generators require significant volumes of gas to drive the thermal generation plants that meet up to 30% of the country's annual electricity needs. Major generation assets require multimillion dollar investments to build and maintain - and a long-term commitments from business partners to supply the gas for these plants is critical to their feasibility. Todd Energy has the ability to provide this commitment.
In addition to electricity generation requirements, Todd Energy provides wholesale gas to some of New Zealand's largest energy retail companies who on-sell it to residential and commercial customers. Because of our extensive and long-term involvement in the local energy industry - much of the electricity and gas used to power New Zealand homes and business can be traced back to Todd Energy or a Todd Energy joint venture.
Complete Energy Solutions
Energy intensive industries - such as Fonterra's world-beating Whareroa Dairy Factory in Hawera - choose Todd Energy when considerable volumes of highly efficient energy play a significant role in their operations.
A reliable and economic energy source is essential to allow businesses such as these to efficiently compete in global markets. For such companies, Todd Energy's access to gas supplies is only part of the equation.
The importance of supply is matched by the need to find a partner that can offer innovation, specialist skills and the resources to deliver a solution as individual as a customer's needs. For the Whareroa factory, this included the construction of a 22 kilometre dedicated pipeline and a joint investment in a highly efficient co-generation plant onsite. This plant now provides all of the companies energy requirements - over a million tonnes of steam per year and enough electricity to power a city the size of Napier at the world's largest single-site dairy facility.
Todd Energy's commitment as a major wholesale energy supplier continues to be backed by our extensive programme of exploration and field development - providing additional surety for all of our customers and the wider energy market in New Zealand.
