Sir Ernest Rutherford: A Legacy of Discovery

Inspired by Sir Ernest Rutherford, a pioneer in energy and physics, our name reflects a commitment to discovery and advancement in New Zealand’s energy future.

Sir Ernest Rutherford, one of New Zealand’s most renowned scientists, revolutionised our understanding of atomic physics. His groundbreaking research earned him the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and laid the foundation for modern energy advancements. Known as the father of nuclear physics, Rutherford’s legacy continues to inspire innovation in science and technology.

Ernest Energy takes its name from this legacy, driven by the same spirit of progress, exploration, and impact that Rutherford embodied.
