Fonterra is investing $150 million into electrification over the next 18 months.
The collective says the projects across the North Island are a significant step towards its climate goals and operational resilience.
It includes electric boilers at the Whareroa, Edgecumbe, and Waitoa sites - and more fleet decarbonisation.
Fonterra's Director of Global Engineering, Chris Kane, says the rising costs of gas and carbon made it an opportune time to make the switch.
