The Minister for Energy is proactively releasing the titles of documents received from MBIE.
Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of gases, consisting mainly of methane, which can be extracted from the ground in a similar way to crude oil. New Zealand’s natural gas fields are concentrated around and off the coast of the Taranaki region.
Energy indicators are used to track and monitor different aspects of a country's energy system such as share of renewables in energy use, energy intensity, and self-sufficiency.

New Zealand’s energy production comes from both renewable and non-renewable sources. The energy balance tables are an international accounting framework, used to show how energy supply and demand by sector varies by energy type.
Domestic consumption of oil products remains steady, with declines in commercial sector use counteracting an increase in residential and agricultural use. International transport fuel use continues to increase as travel recovers from the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Natural gas production decreased in 2024 because of faster-than-expected natural field decline, most notably impacting industrial gas use. Forecast production indicates this will continue throughout the coming years.
