Kia ora & Welcome Energy that flows back to the community

New Zealand agricultural landscape
For Farm

Rooted in the land

Farming runs on energy—irrigation, dairy sheds, cool stores, and more. Maru understands the rhythms of rural New Zealand and offers energy solutions that work with your operation, not against it.

Our farm plans account for seasonal variation, peak demand periods, and the practical realities of running a modern agricultural business in Aotearoa.

  • Seasonal and time-of-use pricing options
  • Irrigation and dairy shed load management
  • Rural connectivity and backup solutions
  • Farm-scale solar integration support

Every kilowatt through Maru supports a better energy future. We're not just selling power—we're building an alternative to the extractive model that's dominated New Zealand's energy sector for too long.

A portion of every Maru account supports environmental restoration, community energy projects, and the transition to a genuinely sustainable energy system for Aotearoa.

  • Certified renewable energy supply
  • Native restoration partnerships
  • Community energy project funding
  • Transparent impact reporting

Our Vision

The circle completes

Maru means circle. It means completeness, harmony, the unbroken flow of water from mountain to sea and back again. It's the shape of sustainable systems—where nothing is wasted and everything returns.

We started Maru Energy because we believed New Zealand deserved better than the status quo. Better than opaque pricing, distant corporate ownership, and an energy system that extracts value from communities instead of creating it.

Our vision is simple: energy that works like water in a healthy ecosystem. Flowing where it's needed, cycling back to its source, sustaining the communities and environments it touches.

We're building this company for the long term—not for a quick exit or maximum extraction, but to be a genuine alternative that proves business can work differently in Aotearoa.

Long-term thinking

Decisions made for decades, not quarters
