As Kiwis, we love the benefits natural gas brings - instant heat, endless hot water, and cooking with a flame. It's an efficient and proven energy source that delivers instant energy. Through its pipeline networks, Firstgas connects natural gas to over 300,000 homes, businesses, and large industries everyday.
Firstgas supplies over 65,000 residential, business and industrial customers with natural gas every day. Through our extensive pipeline network, we’re able to supply a safe and reliable source of natural gas through our network of pipelines direct to factories, offices, restaurants, hospitals and homes in Whangarei, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Central Plateau, Gisborne and Kapiti.
If natural gas is not available, why not explore LPG options with Rockgas?
If you are in the Firstgas network area in Whangarei, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Central Plateau, Gisborne and Kapiti Coast then check for the availability of natural gas at your property. If you’re outside the Firstgas network you still may be able to get alternative energy sources.

At Clarus and Firstgas, we’re committed to supporting initiatives that have a practical and meaningful impact on our communities where we operate, through our community partnership fund.
Kiwis love the benefits gas brings – summer barbies, instant heat, endless hot water, and cooking with a flame. But Kiwis also want to protect New Zealand’s environment. Firstgas has been researching and monitoring international efforts and exploring how we can be part of making gas more efficient and renewable in the future.
