Answer

I am advised that the sources of energy to power and heat Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) properties in 2024/2025 were: Electricity: 100% of properties; Natural gas: about one-third of properties; Heavy fuel oil: around 0.5% of properties. Note that all but one MFAT property is offshore. For Antarctica New Zealand, in Christchurch sources of energy to power and heat buildings are 100% electricity.
