Spark’s renewable energy partnership with Genesis Lauriston solar farm is tracking well, on the NZECS!

Genesis and Spark announce 10-year renewable energy partnership

Under a 10-year renewable energy partnership signed in May 2024 and effective from 1 January 2025, Genesis will supply electricity to Spark purchased from the national grid, at volumes equivalent to the electricity generated by Lauriston solar farm. The energy is provided alongside BraveTrace Energy Certificates (NZ-ECs), matched to Lauriston generation volumes, to provide transparent tracking and reporting of Spark’s renewable energy claims.
