Our Mission

To be a valued generator of electricity

KCE is a hydropower electricity generator, with five power stations in the King Country and Horowhenua districts.

Our vision is to transform our communities through energy, by focusing on innovation and new technology, relationships and sustainability.

Health, safety and wellbeing underpins everything we do as responsible essential service operators, and custodians of one of New Zealand’s most precious natural resources.

Our Values

We embrace these values every day and they're reflected in the way that we engage and do business.

Our head office is based in Taumarunui, and our power stations are in Mangahao, Kuratau, Wairere, Mokoauiti, and Piriaka.
