The Re-Energise 26 call to action
Investment in the workforce with the same seriousness applied to infrastructure, technology, and markets is required.
- Energy sector at the centre of Aotearoa’s future growth and prosperity
- Our nation’s secure and abundant energy future can’t be realised without people
- The Re-Energise 2026 report reframes the national conversation
- Shows that workforce capability is not a supporting issue, it is a core system constraint and opportunity
- Brings together evidence, insight, and practical experience
- Doesn’t offer a single silver bullet solution but calls for leadership, coordination, and shared responsibility
- Challenges government, industry, and educators to work together to
- create clear pathways into the sector
- strengthen skills and capability,
- ensure the knowledge and experience of today’s workforce is carried forward to the next generation.
