Lighting up renewable energy in New Zealand
Improving reporting and enhancing operational efficiency with Oracle Cloud ERP The energy sector is under pressure to meet growing demand while transitioning to renewables, making accurate insights and efficient operations essential for reliable service delivery. New Zealand is rapidly decarbonising, moving away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy. At the forefront of this change is Meridian Energy, the country’s largest electricity provider, which generates around one-third of New Zealand’s electricity needs from 100% renewable sources. Meridian partnered with DXC Technology to replace its outdated, heavily customised legacy systems with a unified Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP platform. The new solution brings together finance, procurement, project portfolio management and enterprise performance management (EPM) in a single cloud-based environment. The solution enables faster, more accurate financial reporting and streamlined procurement processes, giving leaders the insights they need to ensure electricity remains affordable, reliable and secure. “We’ve got to ensure that electricity is affordable and secure. If you’ve got better information at your fingertips, you’re going to be able to do that more effectively,” said Mike Roan, CEO, Meridian Energy. Meridian’s transformation highlights how cloud ERP and analytics can help utilities modernise operations, enhance reporting and drive efficiency at scale. For companies in energy and other critical industries, the challenge is how to adopt cloud platforms in ways that deliver both operational resilience and long-term value. With decades of global experience implementing Oracle solutions, DXC helps organisations like Meridian integrate modern ERP and EPM systems, unlock new insights, and build the agility needed to thrive in fast-changing markets.
