| New Zealand Energy Minister Simon Bridges delivered keynote address at World Geothermal Congress. |
New Zealand is ready to help lead an international movement toward including more geothermal energy in its renewable portfolio, the energy minister said Monday.
New Zealand Energy Minister Simon Bridges delivered the keynote address to delegates gathered in Melbourne, Australia, for the World Geothermal Congress. New Zealand, Bridges said, has contributed roughly 25 percent of the growth in geothermal energy capacity over the past five years.
"We are now the fifth largest geothermal power generator in the world," he said.
