Contact confirmed as essential business
Contact Energy Limited (“CEN”) is committed to supporting the actions of the NZ
Government in restricting the spread of Covid-19, and fulfil its obligations as an essential
business and lifeline utility for New Zealand.
CEO Mike Fuge said Contact Energy was classed as an essential business under the new
Covid-19 rules announced by the Government this week. “At Alert Level 4, we will continue
to deliver services, and do so in a way that limits or eliminates the risk of spreading Covid-
19.”
Mr Fuge said it was humbling to see the dedication of everyone working hard to keep New
Zealand running during a very challenging period. “I’d like to thank everyone for their
massive efforts to date, from Contact people to all of our stakeholders and the energy
industry as a whole. We appreciate your ongoing support, resilience and dedication to
maintaining the energy supply for New Zealanders.”
