The Full Story
When The Energy Practice began 10 years ago, our focus was simple: help New Zealand businesses gain clarity and control over their energy use.
We started with practical, data-driven solutions like smart metering and power factor correction tools that helped companies understand where their energy was going and how to reduce unnecessary costs.
Back then, the goal was efficiency. But along the way, something bigger emerged.
​
As we worked alongside businesses across Aotearoa, we saw firsthand the rising pressure of energy prices, increasing sustainability demands, and a growing desire from Kiwi organisations to play their part in protecting the environment.
It became clear that efficiency alone wasn’t enough — businesses needed solutions that were cleaner, more resilient, and future-proof.
That’s why we expanded into solar.
​
Introducing solar wasn’t just a strategic decision. It was a natural progression of our values:
​
-
Reducing environmental impact
-
Helping businesses achieve energy independence
-
Supporting New Zealand’s transition to a low-carbon future
Today, solar is at the heart of what we do — but our purpose remains the same as it was on day one: empower NZ businesses with smarter, sustainable energy solutions that make a real difference.

“Since upgrading to solar with The Energy Practice, our electricity bills have almost halved. The installation was seamless, and their team explained everything clearly.
“We run a busy warehouse and power demand is high. The 250 kW solar system from The Energy Practice has dramatically reduced our monthly overhead and given us peace of mind with a more sustainable energy supply.”

“We manage a retirement home and need to keep costs predictable so we can deliver affordable care. The solar installation from The Energy Practice has helped us do just that, while showing residents and families we care about sustainability.”

“As a small café, rising power costs were a real concern. Switching to solar was one of the best decisions we’ve made: lower bills, more control and a boost to our reputation for being eco-friendly.”
