Rockgas LPG’s availability is helping fuel New Zealand’s energy needs
Rockgas has been providing a reliable source of LPG to thousands of customers every day for 90 years. Let’s explore how Rockgas continues to be an available source of energy, heating up homes and businesses across the country.
Rockgas has a national network
When it comes to the availability of LPG, Rockgas has it covered and is New Zealand’s largest LPG retailer serving over 140,000 plus customers from 10 branches and a network of 25 franchises throughout the country.
Rockgas delivers 45kg bottles to homes for gas cooking, heating and hot water, as well as providing LPG tanks for business gas essentials for all types of industries and needs. If you live in certain parts of Canterbury, Queenstown or Wanaka, we can pipe LPG straight to your property through our reticulated gas network.
BBQ 9kg bottles are also covered by Rockgas, with a network of more than 120 Refill & Save locations throughout the country.
Stability of supply
Adding to confidence around availability is stability of LPG supply. LPG is produced from both natural gas processing and crude oil refining, meaning it has a diversified supply base which can be sourced both locally and internationally. This dual production pathway ensures that any supply disruptions locally (e.g. natural gas supply) will not completely halt LPG production.
A global trade network also strengthens confidence around availability, as LPG is traded globally, with significant infrastructure in place for its import. This international trade network allows Rockgas to import LPG from other areas in the event of supply shortages, thereby enhancing energy security.
When there is a power outage, Rockgas keeps the heat on
Because Rockgas LPG is transportable, and doesn’t rely on electricity to run, our customers have the added assurance of availability of energy for cooking, heating and hot water during extreme weather events, or when the electricity supply simply cannot keep up with demand.
Hot showers for all
Let’s talk about one of life’s simple pleasures – a hot shower. With Rockgas LPG-powered hot water systems:
✔️ Water heats up quickly and continuously.
✔️ No more wasting water while waiting for it to warm up.
✔️ Wanting multiple hot showers in a row? No problem!
Imagine the whole sports’ team coming home for showers, and the last person gets as much hot water as the first. That’s the Rockgas difference!
From nationwide availability to supply stability, from powering through blackouts to ensuring hot showers for all, Rockgas isn’t just supplying LPG – it’s providing peace of mind. So next time you’re cooking a meal, taking a hot shower, or firing up the BBQ, remember: Rockgas has got you covered and is available all across New Zealand.
