About Genesis Energy
Genesis Energy is a New Zealand-owned energy company that fosters strong links with its customers and community stakeholders.
Formed in April 1999, Genesis Energy is a state-owned enterprise with a diverse electricity generation portfolio. Genesis Energy supplies 19 per cent of New Zealand’s electricity from its thermal and renewable power stations. It is also a significant energy retailer supplying electricity, natural gas and LPG to more than 669,100 customers across the country.
Our aim is to operate as a commercially-focused sustainable company providing responsible energy solutions to our customers. This underpins the way we operate and do business, how we interact with our customers and stakeholders, and can be seen in our efforts to reduce our impact on the environment.
We own and operate 2,141MW of electricity generation, with New Zealand’s largest thermal power station at Huntly including a high efficiency 400MW combined cycle gas cycle turbine, hydro stations at Tongariro, Tekapo and Lake Waikaremoana, the Hau Nui Wind Farm in the Wairarapa and a co-generation facility at Kinleith.
