MWITA-WD-2026-027 · Evidence A · P1
New Zealand's 2026 official energy report records 2025 renewables at 47.7% of primary energy supply, 32% of final consumption and 88.5% of electricity generation, alongside record solar/geothermal output and continuing gas-supply constraints.
What this does not establish
An 88.5% renewable electricity share is not 88.5% renewable total energy.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Lower industrial demand contributed to totals; gas constraints and thermal backup remain relevant.
What would change the reading
Refresh annual balance and pair with reliability, price, emissions and demand data.
