New Zealand Energy Balance: Primary: Natural Gas: Electricity and Heat Generation data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Joint Organisations Data Initiative. The data is categorized under Global Database’s New Zealand – Table NZ.JODI.WDB: Energy Balance: Gas. Natural Gas Natural gas is defined as a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons, primarily methane, but generally also including ethane, propane and higher hydrocarbons in much smaller amounts and some non-combustible gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide. It includes both non-associated gas and associated gas. Colliery gas, coal seam gas and shale gas are included while manufactured gas and biogas are excluded except when blended with natural gas for final consumption. Natural gas liquids are excluded.; Of which: Electricity and Heat Generation This covers the deliveries of natural gas for the generation of electricity and heat in power plants. Both main-activity and autoproducer plants are included.

Producers have faced volatile operating conditions over the past five years. The industry's small size on a global scale and concentration in the Taranaki region make it feasible for a small number of firms to hold a significant market share. Fluctuations in crude oil prices and energy demand have significantly shaped producers' performance. Declining industry production volumes and weaker pricing because of pandemic-related travel restrictions weighed heavily on industry revenue in 2020-21. Surging oil and gas prices, driven by a strong recovery in demand and supply disruptions, supported rebounding industry revenue over the two years through 2022-23. As supply conditions normalised, the softened oil prices have squeezed oil producers' revenue expansion. Gas producers are also contending with the offshore exploration bans, mounting regulatory pressures, contracting production volumes and ageing fields, compounding this slump. Overall, industry revenue is expected to have fallen at an annualised 1.8% over the five years through 2025-26, to $2.2 billion. This includes an expected decline of 4.2% in 2025-26 as oil prices abate and production volumes continue to fall. These factors are also expected to hamper operators' profitability. New Zealand's planned transition from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources has weighed on demand for domestic gas over the past few years. However, periods of low water availability in hydropower systems have supported demand for fossil fuels from energy generators, boosting domestic natural gas prices. As the global energy transition takes shape, the industry's future will hinge on adaptability, policy shifts and gas's role in grid reliability. As New Zealand faces the issue of dwindling gas reserves, the Central Government (Te Kawanatanga o Aotearoa) has introduced a bill that will reverse its ban on offshore gas exploration in September 2024 and has committed to a$200 million contingency fund for new gas projects as part of the 2025 Budget. If the bill is approved, oil and gas producers are set to benefit as production volumes could recover over the coming years. Even so, much of it will depend on producers' willingness to invest in exploration and infrastructure development amid persistent regulatory uncertainty, policy shifts, environmental opposition and a bleak outlook. Crude oil prices are projected to remain weak over the next five years while industry output is forecast to contract. These trends are why revenue is forecast to decline at an annualised 0.9% over the five years through 2030-31, to $2.1 billion.
