Modern ERP and analytics help Meridian Energy keep the lights on for New Zealanders

September 8, 2025

Powering New Zealand’s sustainable future

Meridian Energy is New Zealand’s largest electricity generator and retailer, producing approximately one-third of the country’s electricity — all from renewable sources.

Meridian embarked on a full-scale transformation, selecting Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP as its new platform and DXC Technology as its implementation partner. The project scope also included Oracle EPM for budgeting, forecasting, and reporting to key stakeholders, and seamless integration with existing systems.

DXC brought deep industry expertise, a proven delivery methodology, and a collaborative approach that ensured the project was delivered on time and on budget.

“DXC didn’t just hand us a solution and walk away — they stayed with us, helping our teams adapt and troubleshoot until things really clicked.” — Helen Peters, Group Financial Controller, Meridian Energy

The new ERP system will not only help Meridian better support its 400,000 business and residential customers, but also enhance project visibility for 200 managers and standardise supplier onboarding and procurement procedures. Additionally, executive and board-level financial reports and briefing books are now generated within five days, significantly faster than before.

Meridan’s new solution is generating new efficiencies, including:

  • Improved financial reporting and executive insights
  • Streamlined month-end processes for greater efficiency
  • Robust procurement with a “No PO, No Pay” policy standardising supplier onboarding
  • Faster generation of executive and board-level reports, now delivered within five days
  • Enhanced project visibility for more than 200 project managers
