Our people
Rockgas is owned by Gas Services New Zealand, part of the First Gas Group.
With its head office in New Plymouth, First Gas is New Zealand’s largest owner and operator of gas networks, with more than 2,500km of high-pressure gas transmission pipes and about 4,800km of gas distribution pipes in the North Island. As well as Rockgas, the First Gas Group includes the Ahuroa gas storage facility in central Taranaki. First Gas’ focus is a safe, reliable supply of gas and LPG to more than 165,000 customers throughout New Zealand.
GSNZ purchased Rockgas from Contact Energy on 30 November 2018. Part of the sale included GSNZ and Contact Energy forming an alliance, where Contact continues to provide support services to Rockgas, including the customer call centre and credit control services for mass market customers.
GSNZ operates the fulfilment side of the business by sourcing LPG, and picking up, refilling and delivering it to the mass market. GSNZ also directly manages bulk LPG customers, and supply branches and franchises.
