Development Advisory

Our low carbon world requires more renewable energy. Elemental is a New Zealand energy Development Advisor leveraging off our many years’ experience consulting and managing energy projects worldwide.

We’re collaborating with local and international parties to help New Zealand reach its climate targets and beyond.

It’s how you develop, not what!

Our projects align with our Development Principles:

  • We seek to partner with Indigenous peoples as kaitiaki, co-governors, owners, and joint venture partners.
  • We focus on multi-generational community centered outcomes.
  • We commit to improved biodiversity outcomes and ecological restoration and regeneration.
  • We collaborate with wider energy market participants and support common infrastructure solutions to reduce our impact.
  • We explore activities synergistic with generation, such as agri-voltaics, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries.
  • We create and deliver skills, training, and education to ensure that our employees of the future are ready and able to engage in a low carbon future.
  • We prioritise local procurement and employment, no matter where our projects are located.
  • We deliver meaningful, secure, equitable and dignified work.
NZ Offshore Wind

Elemental is a pioneer in the offshore wind industry in New Zealand. We’re on our way to harnessing our most abundant, world-class resource. This resource can enable wide scale decarbonisation of New Zealand’s energy sector – transportation, industrial users, manufacturing and more.

While New Zealand may look small on the map – our opportunity to make a positive impact worldwide is massive.

Our announced projects are:

  • South Taranaki - 900 MW fixed turbines 22km off the south coast of Taranaki.

  • Waikato - 1,400 MW of fixed and floating turbines off the west coast of Waikato.

Kākāriki Portfolio

Capturing the Renewable Energy Opportunity in New Zealand 
Elemental Group founded Kākāriki Renewables with Energy Estate as 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.
