Pioneer Generation is a community-owned electricity generation company, based in Alexandra, Central Otago, New Zealand. We are an electricity wholesaler – supplying power through local networks and the national grid using 100% renewable generation methods.

We are 100% owned by a charitable trust, Central Lakes Trust. Beneficiaries of the trust are the ratepayers of the old Central Electric franchise area.

We operate and maintain our twelve power stations throughout Central Otago and Southland and undertake contract maintenance for other electricity companies.

Over the last 10 years we have upgraded many of our current stations, in addition to building new generation stations.
