Alpine Energy Limited is an electricity distribution business based in Timaru, New Zealand. The company own and operates the electricity distribution network in South Canterbury.[1]

The company's distribution network consists of 4,300 km (2,700 mi) of lines, supplying electricity to approximately 33,000 customers. The network covers the towns of Timaru, Temuka, Waimate, Pleasant Point, Fairlie, Lake Tekapo, Twizel, and Mount Cook Village.[2]

Alpine Energy holds the naming rights to Fraser Park, the home ground of the South Canterbury rugby union team and an alternate home ground for the Crusaders Super Rugby team, which means it is known as Alpine Energy Stadium.

In December 2025 the company announced plans to collaborate with Otago-based Aurora Energy by merging the operations of the two lines companies.[3]
