Our businesses
Based in Taranaki, Clarus is one of New Zealand's largest energy groups with businesses that touch many aspects of the energy supply chain including Rockgas, Firstgas, Firstlight Network, First Renewables and Flexgas.
Rockgas is New Zealand’s largest LPG retail supplier, providing fast and reliable service through a national network of branches and franchises.
Firstgas connects natural gas to homes, businesses, and large industry. Across the North Island, we own more than 2,500 km of high-pressure gas transmission pipelines and 4,800 km of gas distribution networks. Through our transmission and distribution networks, we connect over 300,000 homes and businesses to gas.
Firstlight Network is our lines company that keeps the lights on across 12,000 square kilometers of the East Coast.
First Renewables is leading our work programme looking at the potential for renewable gas developments and solar power. We aim to open the door for Aotearoa New Zealand homes, businesses, and energy-intensive industries to access lower emissions gas energy options in the future.
Flexgas owns and operates Taranaki’s recently expanded underground Ahuroa gas storage facility. This sort of storage can offer an important source of flexibility to the electricity system at periods of peak demand, supporting security of electricity supply as New Zealand moves to higher levels of intermittent wind, hydro and solar generation.
