Shreejan Pandey is a New Zealand political candidate affiliated with the Green Party, who is listed as a candidate for the Wigram electorate [12] and ranked 21 on the Green Party Delegate List for the 2026 General Election [10].

Pandey has a background in the energy and research sectors [6], and has been confirmed as a power systems engineer [5]. According to a single reputable secondary source, he has also worked as a wind farm designer [8] and has been involved in leading clean energy initiatives at an international level [3].

His academic and institutional connections include, according to a single reputable secondary source, attendance at Monash University [9], a role as Energy Lab Convenor at Monash Business School [1], and a position as Director of the Monash Energy Institute [11]. He has also been noted, from the same source tier, as a speaker on the green energy transition [7].

In 2016, Pandey was a co-author of a publication titled 'Mind the Gaps', produced by the University of Canterbury's Electrical and Computer Engineering department [4], and is credited as the author of an academic paper on electrical engineering demographics from the same year [2].

With respect to party affiliation, sources indicate his alignment with the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand [16], with his candidacy confirmed as of 12 March 2026 [15]. One source also notes a separate affiliation with the Labour Party [17], though this claim is unverified and drawn from a single secondary source.

Party affiliation

Looked for, not found

  • No public record found for Shreejan Pandey's pre-politics employer history in New Zealand (beyond University of Canterbury affiliation as researcher), specific undergraduate degree institution, or precise dates of appointment as Monash Energy Institute General Manager/Director.

The agent checked these topics across the allowed public sources but could not find verbatim-quotable evidence. Absence doesn't rule the fact out — it just means no journalist-accessible source covered it at run time.
