Meridian announces departure of Australia CEO
15 August 2019
Meridian Energy Limited announced today that Ed McManus, the CEO of Meridian Energy
and Powershop Australia, has resigned. Neal Barclay, Meridian’s Chief Executive, said that
Mr McManus has decided to leave Meridian for another role at an Australian business.
“Ed has been instrumental in leading the team at Meridian Energy Australia to galvanise its
place as a challenger in a market dominated by larger companies,” says Mr Barclay.
“Ed joined us in 2014. Under his watch Meridian has been able to grow its Australian
customer base and generation footprint across the market. We’re deeply grateful for Ed’s
contribution.”

Mr McManus’s departure date has yet to be determined.
