Genesis delivered a strong financial performance, led by continued growth in the Retail segment and by providing
seasonal back-up energy in a year characterised by gas supply shortages and low hydro inflows.
Genesis Energy (GNE) today announced EBITDAF of $358 million for the year ended 30 June 2021. Genesis achieved Net
Profit of $33 million and underlying earnings of $75 million. Genesis declared an increased final dividend of 8.8 cps,
resulting in total FY21 dividends of 17.4 cps. Results were impacted by Genesis’ decision to invest $27 million to utilise
the Fixed Priced Option
4
in order to meet the company’s carbon obligations as well as an unfavourable arbitration
ruling resulting in $33 million of costs relating to prior years.
The result follows a challenging FY21 for the sector with persistently low hydro inflows and declining gas supply. The
flexibility of Genesis’ assets provided support to the market during a period of prolonged energy shortages ahead of
winter.
“The value of our generation portfolio was demonstrated by our ability to temporarily reinstate a generator at Huntly
Power Station to compensate for the shortfall in renewable generation and ensure hydro levels could be conserved
ahead of winter,” Mr England said.
“And, operating at the intersection of the electricity and gas markets meant we were able to negotiate key gas supply
agreements that supported electricity generation through winter and allowed us to supply critical gas supply to
industrial customers and other market participants.”
Future-gen moving at pace
As part of our Future-gen strategy, Genesis has committed to three major power purchase agreements (PPAs) and
announced a plan to co-develop 500 MW of solar. The first PPA, Waipipi Wind Farm was completed in March and is
expected to deliver 455 GWh of renewable energy in FY22.
Genesis signed another 20-year PPA with Tilt Renewables
5
for a 75 MW wind farm in Northland that will be completed
by early 2024. The Kaiwaikawe Wind Farm will produce approximately 230 GWh of renewable energy and is estimated
to reduce carbon emissions by 180,000 tonnes annually. A further agreement was signed with Contact Energy, to
support the development of geothermal generation from the Tauhara power station. Genesis will purchase 63 MW of
energy for 15 years from 2025.

4
The Fixed Priced Option allowed Emissions Trading Scheme Participants to pay a fixed price of $35 per tonne in lieu of surrendering units.
5
Tilt Renewables New Zealand assets have since been acquired by Mercury NZ Limited.
Genesis has also announced its plan to develop grid-scale solar as part of the Future-gen programme. The company has
shortlisted two international solar developers and is finalising the terms of a joint venture. 500MW of generation is
targeted by 2025, and some of which will generated on Genesis owned land near existing grid connections.
Collectively, these announcements put Genesis on track to displace 1,800GWh of thermal baseload generation and
remove 1.2 million tonnes of annual carbon emissions by 2025.
Genesis Retail business goes from strength to strength
Genesis has targeted growth across our Business Energy Services and LPG businesses by growing through targeted
propositions. Our Businesses Energy Services have provided energy audits and monitoring to enable customers to
understand, manage and reduce their energy consumption. LPG delivered a strong performance with nearly 8% growth.
Across all customer segments, including our residential customer base, Genesis continues to put control in our
customers’ hands. There were 11.6 million interactions with our Energy IQ platform and 275,000 households are
engaging with their energy choices.
Dividends
The Genesis Board has confirmed a final dividend of 8.8 cents per share, bringing the full year dividend to 17.4 cents
per share, an increase of 1.2%. The final dividend has a record date of 24 September 2021 and will be paid on 8 October
2021.
The Board also confirmed a new dividend policy of paying out between 70% and 90% of free cash flow. The change in
policy introduces the flexibility to retain capital to invest in our Future-gen strategy. However, the change in policy
does not represent a departure from our aim to grow dividends over time and we recognise the importance of
dividends to our investors.

and higher electricity spot prices led to improved trading margins. The Waipipi wind farm provided additional
value with generation at below baseload thermal fuel cost. High market volatility meant market making and active trading costs were significantly higher than FY20.
•Retail:Genesis continues to grow value in our Retail segment through improving netback and targeted volume growth. Genesis’ LPG business grew market share and
optimised costs.

Expanding role for thermal generation in the stressed
wholesale market
Genesis’ assets and portfolio supported the market through a period of low
hydro inflows and an energy sector wide gas shortage.
Improved trading margins were driven by an increase in internal transfer price
and greater thermal generation.
Arbitration settlement costs, relating to prior years, and Carbon FPO resulted in
$55m of additional costs this year.

Lower hydro generation throughout New Zealand meant that Huntly Power
Station was needed to provide back-up generation to the market.
While generation from gas would usually increase to offset lower hydro, in
FY21 gas constraints meant it reduced and coal was required to make up for
its loss.
The Waipipi Wind Farm produced 222 GWh of renewable generation for
Genesis which mitigated the required thermal back-up.

Genesis elected to make use of the $35 per tonne Carbon FPO to meet its
calendar year 2020 carbon obligations under the New Zealand Emissions
Trading Scheme (ETS).
Electing to use the FPO allowed Genesis to retain 2.2 million NZU’s which
improved Genesis’ future carbon hedge position, with forecast emissions
hedged through to FY26.
The cumulative financial benefit of FPO is expected to be a $50-$100m
improvement of EBITDAF over the period from FY22-FY27.

Reviewing Kupe’s full potential concluded further development
opportunities exist
Concluded a strategic review of our ongoing ownership of Kupe in FY21 and
concluded that maintaining ownership is in the best interest of shareholders and
the Company.
Production was down on FY20 due to natural field decline and in line with
expectations. The production station operated at 98.5% reliability.
Inlet compression project is progressing well and commissioning activities are
now underway. First gas remains on schedule for late FY22 Q1, with the
expectation of a return to 77 TJ / day plateau production rates.
Continuing to assess opportunities to extend the plateau production rate beyond
FY24. Preparation work for a potential Kupe East development well is underway
and drill timing will be confirmed during FY22.

5. FY22 guidance
Genesis Energy Limited FY21 Result Presentation 35.
FY22 EBITDAF guidance is $420 million to $440 million subject to normal hydrological conditions, any material one-off
expenses or other unforeseen circumstances; Key drivers are;
I
ncreased renewable generation delivered through a full year of Waipipiwind farm in operation and return to
normal hydrology.
P
ortfolio optimisation delivered through re-contracting activity and growth in LPG.
A
review of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) expenditure is underway to understand the impact of the recent IFRS
Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC') agenda decision regarding accounting for SaaS configuration and customisation
costs. The outcome of this review may see some capital costs associated with re-platforming our core systems moved
to operating expenditure.
F
Y22 capital expenditure guidance of up to $95 million.
Long
-run outlook for stay in business capital expenditure is $50 million to $70 million.
K
ey capital expenditure projects include; TuaiGenerator Refurbishment, Piripauaturbine overhaul, Rangipo
switchgear replacement and sluice armouring restoration. Capital to support LPG growth and deliver technology
solutions to improve customer experience, including re-platforming our sales, service and billing capabilities.
Outlook and guidance
Genesis Energy Limited FY21 Result Presentation 36.
Genesis has revised its Dividend Policy:
Genesis’ Dividend Policy has been revised to a range of 70% to 90% of Free Cash Flow from one based on
maintaining dividends in real terms.
The change in policy ensures our dividends are more able to reflect underlying business performance over time, and
in addition introduces the flexibility to make funds available to invest in delivering on a lower carbon future for Genesis
through our Future-gen strategy.
However, recognising the importance of dividends to our investors, the change in policy does not represent a departure from
our aim to grow dividends over time:
The FY21 full year dividend represents a pay-out ratio of 96% of FCF or 76% when the impact of Carbon FPO and
prior year arbitration are excluded; and
The FY21 full year dividend was the 7th consecutive year of dividend growth.
Our dividend policy can be found at https://www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/dividends

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2021 / MOVING TO A LOW CARBON FUTURE
We choose to participate in markets
for the long term to create value for
shareholders in a sustainable w a y.
In doing this, we are guided by our
purpose, to empower New Zealand’s
sustainable future. We act on this in
three ways – enabling a low carbon
future for all New Zealanders, leading
a sustainable business and playing our
part as individuals.
We understand that the climate
challenge means we need to change
some of the things we do and are led
by science in doing this. We have set
ambitious science-based targets to
remove 1.2m tonnes of carbon by 2025
tied to the international benchmark of
limiting global warming to below 1.5°C.

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2021 / MOVING TO A LOW CARBON FUTURE
We remain focused on evolving
our business model away from pure
energy supply to energy management.
This is being achieved by
continuing to develop the digital
and virtual channels customers can
use to interact with us alongside a
suite of market leading products and
services that provide knowledge and
insights that our customers can act
on to manage their usage and reduce
their carbon footprint.
This is all anchored by our
people who are future focused and
adaptive and always seeking new
and innovative ways of engaging
our customers, operating our assets
and working smarter.

Digital transformation
We are embarking on another stage
of our digital transformation that will
deliver a significant step-change in the
way we connect and provide services to
customers. We have already undertaken
work towards being a more data driven
organisation that over time will enable
us to make better decisions, and unlock
new insights into our operations,
markets and customers.
Customers continue to engage with
Energy IQ in greater numbers. This
year there were more than 11.6 million
interactions and over 275,000 unique
users while we focused on making
things easier for customers across a
raft of services from moving home, to
paying bills and ordering LPG deliveries.
We also had excellent engagement
with customers, non-customers
and staff through an innovative,
marketing campaign that supported
our partnership with Emirates Team
New Zealand during their successful
America’s Cup campaign. Using
sophisticated technology in custom
made shirts, we measured the amount
of energy used by supporters watching
the races and converted that into
power. As a result, 185,141 hours of free
power was given to over 600 Genesis
powered schools. More than three
million Kiwis saw the campaign on TV,
and, at its peak, our social media posts
reached 1.1 million.
Looking ahead
FY22 is shaping up as another busy
year of important milestones for
Genesis. The business is well placed
to continue successfully executing
our strategy and deliver value to our
stakeholders. We remain optimistic
for the future of our business, and the
opportunity for Genesis to continue
empowering New Zealand’s sustainable
future.

Kia ora shareholders
On many levels, this
has been a milestone
year for the country,
the sector and
Genesis. Low hydro
inflows and
constrained gas
supplies punctuated
the market.
We took bold steps this year,
committing to removing 1.2 million
tonnes of carbon emissions before
2025 tied to the internationally
recognised benchmark of limiting
global warming to below 1.5°C of pre-
industrial temperatures. This supports
New Zealand’s commitments under the
2015 Paris Agreement. The targets have
been verified by the Science Based
Targets initiative (SBT) and Genesis
was the first New Zealand generator-
retailer to commit to 1.5°C with them.
This will mean a 36% reduction in
carbon emissions from generation.
Despite the market challenges
experienced in FY21, we remain
steadfast in our commitment to meet
these ambitious targets.
Our Future-gen strategy is how we
will meet the targets. The objective
is to economically displace baseload
thermal generation with 2,650 GWh of
new renewable generation, sufficient to
power 380,000 households a year. The
first part of that came in March with the
completion of the Waipipi wind farm in
South Taranaki where we have signed
a 20-year power purchase agreement
with Tilt Renewables for all of the
electricity generated. We also signed a
similar agreement with Tilt Renewables
for the Kaiwaikawe wind farm to be built
in Northland by early 2024. This is the
first agreement from an RFP process we
ran as part of the Future-gen strategy.
Combined with the agreement to buy
up to 62.5 MW of baseload geothermal
generation from Contact Energy, and
our intention to develop utility scale
solar announced in August, we are well
on our way to delivering on those goals.
The Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
and cost of carbon is working to its
intended effect. With the price of
carbon increasing the marginal cost
of thermal generation, building or
procuring new renewable generation
has become economically viable.
Waipipi wind farm and our recently
announced agreements for the
Kaiwaikawe wind farm and Tauhara
geothermal projects are all clear
examples of the impact of the ETS
driving the build of new renewables.
In this year’s report, we continue
to increase transparency of how
we operate. We are once again
reporting in line with the Taskforce on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures
recommendations, and also reporting
our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Security of supply
The role Genesis has to play in the
transition was highlighted by the
difficult market conditions through the
latter part of 2020 and into the winter
of 2021. Extremely low hydro levels
and tight supply of gas combined to
put considerable stress on the market.
Huntly Power Station was built to
support the country’s highly renewable
system.
Underlining how critical Huntly is to
the national electricity system was
the supply provided to other major
generators and smaller retailers during
this period. This was reflected in our
supply contracts with generators,
known as swaptions, to meet the
shortfall from their renewable sources.
In FY20 we supplied 154,075 MWh
under swaptions, while this year
819,950 MWh was supplied.
The value of Huntly’s fuel flexibility was
also evident during this time when we
were able to reach supply agreements
for gas with Methanex and Ballance
Agri-Nutrients. These agreements
helped support energy security through
winter and ensure steady electricity
and gas supply to our customers and
other market participants.
The diversity of our generation assets
and the fact that we operate at the
intersection of the electricity and gas
markets positioned Genesis as the
market participant best placed to
broker these types of deals. The on-
going supply issue with gas looks likely
to remain for some time and poses
a challenge for the sector over the
foreseeable future. Coal will need to
be used to fill the shortfall from time to
time however our view is the electricity
sector has reached peak coal. With new
renewable generation being enabled by
Genesis and our competitors we expect
much less back up generation over the
next few years.
The North Island blackouts in early
August were a reminder that short term
demand spikes may need different
solutions going forward.
In July, we concluded the strategic
review of our interest in Kupe. After
a thorough review process, the Board
concluded that ongoing ownership
of Kupe was in the best interests of
shareholders and the company. Kupe
remains a high-quality gas asset and
will continue to play a key role in
New Zealand’s transition to a lower
carbon future.
The Climate Challenge
The dominant presence throughout
was the work of the Climate Change
Commission (CCC) and the release of its
first set of recommendations to support
the country’s ambition to be carbon
neutral by 2050. The recommendations
and subsequent policy settings will have
far reaching implications and provide
the framework that will transform New
Zealand society and our economy. As
part of the backbone of the national
energy system, Genesis has an
important role to play in the transition
and is already putting plans into action,
as you will read in this report.
Our diverse portfolio of assets
performed a critical role in ensuring
energy security for the market, and
the business navigated the challenging
market conditions to deliver a sound
result. With an eye to the future, we
have accelerated the transformation
of the business as we play our role in
leading New Zealand’s transition to a
low carbon future.
Despite a disappointing arbitration
outcome with Beach Energy over
who pays for carbon that affected our
reported EBITDAF¹, the underlying
business performed well. We continue
sharpening our focus on the customer,
actively leaning into the climate
challenge, and creating a workplace
culture that is innovative and inclusive
with a can-do attitude. These are key
elements to building on our momentum
as the country and company start
the transition.
We supported the work of the CCC,
and our submissions were concise and
focused on the best outcomes for the
country. One of the most important
things we advocated for is a 30-year
national energy strategy that takes
into account the interconnectedness
of the system and enables the right
sequencing and prioritisation of actions
to avoid unintended consequences.
If we get it right as a country, we can
mobilise investment and markets
to accelerate our transition and
deliver a dependable, low cost and
low emissions energy system that
underpins the country’s transformation.

New Zealand’s
transition to a low

begun. We know
the responsibility
we have in helping
the country
achieve that.
MOAWHANGO DAM
TONGARIRO POWER SCHEME
1.2million
Our target is to remove more
than 1.2m tonnes of carbon by
2025 from a 2020 base year.
We aim to reduce generation
emissions by 36% by 2025.
↓
Led by science
The climate challenge is going to
dominate New Zealand and global
decisions on how we live and work
for the next 30 years and beyond.
The scale of change is going to be
significant and Genesis will be a key
enabler in achieving the successful
transition we all want.
We are committed to taking action
to reduce emissions while balancing
climate change considerations,
increasing energy demand and
ensuring our customers have a reliable
and cost-effective energy supply.
We are aligned to five of the United
Nations Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), identified as the areas
that we feel we can make the most
positive impact in for Aotearoa - SDG
7 affordable and clean energy, SDG 8
decent work and economic growth,
SDG 10 reduced inequalities, SDG 13
climate action and SDG 17 partnerships
for the goals.
Underpinning that, we also set
ambitious emissions reduction
targets tied to 1.5°C to support the
country's commitments under the Paris
Agreement. These have been verified by
the internationally recognised Science
Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the first
generator-retailer in New Zealand to
do so. Our target is to remove more
than 1.2m tonnes of carbon over the
next five years. We aim to reduce
generation emissions by 36% by 2025.
This comes on top of having reduced
carbon emissions by 1.8m tonnes over
the 10 years leading into 2020. Few, if
any other, New Zealand companies have
reduced emissions at that scale in that
timeframe. However, we know we must
do more and plan to do so.
Our board and management team
chose the 1.5°C target because we want
to make a difference, knowing it will be
difficult but is achievable, with the right
pathway. We also know getting there is
not going to be a straight line, but we
accept the accountability and have a
plan to do so.
Future-gen strategy
A refreshed Future-gen strategy is how
we intend to get there.
Through Future-gen, we are aiming
to secure 2,650 GWh a year of
renewable electricity generation by
2030, with the majority before 2025.
The first step toward that happened in
March when the Waipipi wind farm in
South Taranaki came online with the
expectation it will deliver 433 GWh of
zero emissions electricity annually. It
was the first wind farm built here since
2014. And we recently confirmed a
power purchase agreement with Tilt
Renewables, operator of Waipipi, for
a further 230 GWh of clean electricity
from a new wind farm to be built in
Northland that will be operational
in early 2024. Further renewable
opportunities in wind, solar and
geothermal are being assessed.
While the future is focused on
renewable generation, the country
continues the search for clean storage
possibilities to offset dry year risk.
We have engaged with Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment
(MBIE) as it assesses whether Lake
Onslow is an effective and affordable
option and have suggested several
North Island alternatives as we look for,
and offer, solutions. New Zealand faces
the challenge of needing about 7,000
GWh of deep energy storage to deal
with seasonal shifts in demand. Existing
hydro lakes provide about 4,000 GWh
of that. Huntly fills the gap of 3,000
GWh, the job it was built to do. This
seasonal risk is unique to New Zealand
and requires longer-term technology
and clean fuel solutions that are
currently uneconomic, particularly
if we want to keep power prices low
enough to encourage other sectors to
decarbonise through electrification.
This year, the impact of a La Niña
weather pattern for several months saw
hydro levels fall to near historical lows.
This was compounded by the tight
supply of gas due mainly to issues with
the Pohokura field. With these very
difficult conditions, it was prudent to
make available a third Rankine unit.
Operating at the crossroads of the gas
and electricity markets also allowed us
to drive value through leveraging our
fuel diversity. This enabled us to broker
short term gas supply arrangements
with Methanex and Ballance Agri
Nutrients to further support security
of supply and market price stability.
These gas supply arrangements would
not have been possible without Huntly
Power Station and underlined the
critical importance of fuel flexibility
and the back-up role that Huntly
plays in ensuring security of supply
in New Zealand’s highly renewable
electricity market. The supply of gas
looks tight for the foreseeable future
and similar conditions could be likely
in 2022 meaning the country will again
rely on Huntly to ensure the supply
of electricity.
While the government, sector and
Genesis continues to look for an
alternative back-up for the system,
we will do more to remove emissions
from baseload thermal generation.
Biomass is one option being thoroughly
reviewed with regard to the Huntly
Rankine units. Future applicability
of clean fuels such as biodiesel
and green hydrogen are also being
closely monitored. Our skilled team of
engineers also continue to innovate and
improve efficiency at Huntly and across
all our hydro generation sites.

1.
The sum of our
parts – playing our
part as individuals
Building on this, we are working
towards a position where our people
set themselves a tangible personal
sustainability commitment. That might
be changing what they eat, being a
more conscious consumer, changing
out of their ICE vehicle for public
transport or an EV or, volunteering
in their community with a sense
of purpose.
Many are already connecting into
their communities with more than
200 volunteering this year, a 25%
increase on FY20. We are also looking
to move from a transactional model of
volunteering that many organisations
run to a transformative approach to
support the culture we are developing.
The transactional model is where the
reward for a volunteer is from providing
their skill or time and there is limited
personal impact or growth beyond
that. The transformative approach is
about the experience and the impact
that has on the volunteer and the
self-reflection that it creates. Research
shows volunteers who participate like
this are more empathic and resilient
and bring these characteristics into
the workplace.
This has led to our people being
involved in a wide range of community
work from driving cancer patients to
their treatment, working in community
kitchens to ocean conservation
projects. To help embed the approach,
we’ve also introduced the concept of
Volunteer Activators to enable our
people to volunteer where their passion
is, identify how they want to help and
then find and organise volunteers to
help support their cause.
25%
Increase on
volunteering
this year
Our people are connected to our
purpose, supported by our culture and
empowered by our trust. They
understand the challenge the country
faces and the role our company has in
transitioning to a new energy future
and are motivated to play their
role as individuals.
There is a strong commitment to
sustainability and climate change
across the business. We support that
with a culture that encourages our
people to be active participants in
the transition at work, and beyond.
Nearly three-quarters of staff told
us in a survey this year that it was
very important for them to work for a
company that values sustainability and
a similar number wanted to know more
about what they can do at home to be
more sustainable.
Our Safety and Wellness maxim of
‘What’s your 50%?’ helps guide
individuals in deciding what their
contribution can be to a more
sustainable future. The question is
designed to prompt self-reflection on
the level of responsibility you’re
prepared to take. It helps ensure
our people are aligned, empowered
and accountable.

Ria, a Retail Strategy Analyst, is
passionate about working with young
children after teaching swimming
and drama to youngsters when she
was at uni. She was keen to join her
colleagues in a homework club through
the charity connection organisation,
Who Did You Help Today? The charity
put Genesis in touch with Glenavon
School in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland,
where four staff volunteers help
10-15 students aged 7-9 for an hour
each week.
“Being able to spend quality time with
children is special,” says Ria. “They
really appreciate and benefit from one
on one attention.”
The trio are among the first of our
Volunteer Activators, a concept we
introduced this year to enable our
people to volunteer where their passion
is, identify how they want to help and
then find and organise volunteers
to help support their cause. Ria says
everyone who has been involved has
loved the experience, and it’s also
become a team-building exercise.
Helping young students through
a homework club at a low-decile
school is a cause close to the heart
of Ria Peters, Bhargavi Kotte and
Tanisha Singh-Shah.
Getting
homework
done
“We share stories about how we might
have helped a girl comprehend the
words she was reading or explained
times-tables to a boy, so he understood
the mechanics behind them.”
Bhargavi, a Delivery Coach, says staff
really appreciate being able to give
back, and have their workplace support
them in doing so.
“If we make it easy for staff, all they
have to do is give up a little of their
work time. They get to contribute to
their community in a way that has
an immediate, tangible benefit, and
form a sense of community with their
colleagues at the same time.”
They are now hoping to scale up the
initiative, so that Genesis staff in other
parts of the country can help children
at their local schools.

Genesis has been one of the largest contributors
to carbon reduction in New Zealand over the
last decade and we will continue on that path.
While climate action is imperative, sustainability
stretches across a business. It includes earning the
loyalty of customers as a key to reliable returns,
becoming an employer of choice and contributing
to the communities in which it operates. We are
making good progress on each of these fronts
while knowing there is more to do in an evolving
social and economic landscape.

Leading a sustainable
business in New Zealand
Te Tira Manaaki o Kenehi –
caring for our vulnerable customers
Looking after customers is one of our top
priorities. Over the past year we’ve developed
a new approach with a dedicated team to
support the elderly and those with medical or
financial circumstances who need extra care.
Te Tira Maanaki o Kenehi, the Genesis
Caring Team, was started with the
ethos of supporting customers through
good times and bad.
Taking time to understand their
circumstances and finding the
right solution for these customers
differentiates our service. This includes
partnering with various social agencies
with specialist skills to provide
extra help if needed. Our proactive
engagement approach with customers
showing early signs of financial stress
reduces the risk of debt accumulating
in a way that becomes damaging. This
has been a major contributor to a more
than 40% reduction in residential credit
disconnections over the past year.
We want to create personal
connections and treat our customers
like they are part of our whānau.
Desiree is 80-years-old and, like
many, lives from pension to pension.
She was worried about paying her
power bill in winter when the cold
bites. Te Tira Manaaki o Kenehi is there
to help with patience, empathy and
practical assistance.
“It’s hard for older people to adjust, you
get set in your ways, but Genesis has
been very good to me over the years
being patient and understanding,”
Desiree said.
We have more than 70,000 customers
who are over 70 years old, with
many living off their superannuation.
Being patient and taking time to
understand their concerns is the
starting point, before making the effort
to find solutions.
Team member Fuatai Yardley summed
it up like this, “I always remind myself
to be kind, because we don’t know the
situation a customer might be facing.
Whoever you’re speaking with is
someone’s mum, someone’s nan.”
Rewarding our
customers
We also focus on rewarding our
customers with magic moments to
show how much we value them.
The Power Shout initiative is one way
of doing this and continues to gain
traction. In June, 23% of customers
joining Genesis said Power Shout was
their reason for doing so. The free
electricity we give back to customers
is more than a way of saying thank
you. We also give them information
about how to reduce their power
cost and carbon emissions by using
energy at certain times of day or night,
empowering them to take an active role
in their energy management and run
their household in a more sustainable
way. For example, customers can
aggregate hours to use in winter
when heaters and driers are in heavy
use. Tuesday, 29 June was one of the
coldest days this year, and more than
18,000 customers used their Power
Shout hours - four times the number
that used them in the previous four
Tuesdays combined.
We offered three Power Shouts this
year giving away 2,513,308 hours of
power and also passed the milestone of
giving away 10 million hours since the
programme was introduced in 2018.
Giving value back to customers
through a new discount structure and
migrating our residential customers
to new plans was one of the biggest
projects we have undertaken this year.
This followed a review of the electricity
industry in which the government
recommended changes to the plans
retailers offer through the removal of
prompt payment discounts.
The new plans create options for
customers on how they want to be
rewarded such as e-bill or Dual Fuel
discounts. These discounts make things
fairer for all customers while rewarding
customer behaviour.
During this year we migrated 320,000
customers to the new plans with no
material increase in customer churn,
despite the appeal prompt payment
discounts had with customers. This was
achieved by segmenting our customers
and tailoring our communication to each
of the 360 different customer groups.
Our brand continues to resonate with
consumers, finishing the year as the
most considered and preferred energy
brand in the market.
Among customers, 62% see us as being
first to market with new technology to
help people manage their energy use,
up 19% on the previous year. Regarding
sustainability, 42% know we are
committed to reducing our emissions
and impact on the environment, a
10% lift year-on-year. Both of these
reflect our key strategies of being
our customers’ first choice for energy
management and executing our Future-
gen plan. They’re also a result of our
support of Emirates Team New Zealand
with an innovative multi-channel
campaign that resulted in 185,141 hours
of free energy being provided to more
than 600 Genesis powered schools
across the country.
It’s hard for older people to
adjust, you get set in your ways,
but Genesis has been very good
to me over the years being
patient and understanding.

Change of office, change of ways
Our new offices in Auckland
are in a 6 Green Star rated
building, one of only nine in the
country. It is more than a physical
representation of our commitment
to being a sustainable business.
The move provided the catalyst to
introduce initiatives that would reduce
emissions, traffic congestion and
enable active and shared travel. As part
of the move we no longer provided
staff carparks, removed company cars
from salary packages and replaced
our corporate car fleet with EV car
sharing start-up, Zilch. In their place
we provided a 25% subsidy for public
transport, car-pool hubs in South and
West Auckland, a free shuttle service
from the eastern suburbs and with top
end changing facilities to encourage
staff to ride, run or walk to work.
Our people loved it.
Compared to the travel routines in
our previous offices which had 205
carparks, we’ve seen a 50% increase in
people taking public transport or using
EVs, 102% increase in biking, running,
walking or e-scootering to work, 81%
of staff have signed up to the public
transport subsidy and there are 984 less
carbon contributing trips each week
(petrol, diesel, motorbike), a reduction
of 71%. Staff have collectively reduced
carbon emissions by 158t per annum,
so far.
Proudly, we are also the first company
in the southern hemisphere to add the
new, fully electric, Fuso eCanter truck
to our commercial fleet. We will learn
a lot of valuable information about the
technology, charging, maintenance and
the cost to run it as we work toward
converting more of the fleet over time.
There’s a really good
cycle lane from my
house to the office,
and the bike has
saddlebags on the
side, so I just pop my
laptop and gym gear
in there and I’m ready
to go – door to door.

Genesis-Pūhoro
partnership unlocking
potential of Māori
rangatahi in STEM
Genesis is privileged to operate
generation sites in some of the most
special locations across Aotearoa. This
year we launched the ambitious Ngā
Ara Creating Pathways programme
to create transformational education,
training and pathways to prepare
young people in our local generation
site communities for the future of work.
A cornerstone initiative of the
programme is a three-year partnership
with Pūhoro Charitable Trust,
supporting Māori students in these
communities to choose school
subjects and career pathways in
science, technology, engineering
and maths (STEM).
Many of the highly skilled roles in the
energy sector are linked to STEM.
Inspiring and developing the energy
innovators of the future through
partnerships like this and our long-
running School-gen programme are
integral in building a pipeline of talent
to support New Zealand’s progress
towards a lower-carbon future.
Pūhoro assists Māori secondary school
students to participate and achieve
in STEM subjects to enable them into
these careers. Students receive weekly
mentoring in their STEM subjects,
attend wānanga at tertiary campuses
each term, and are offered internship
and work experience opportunities to
support their learning.
“
The first three programmes through
our Pūhoro partnership launched this
year at secondary schools close to our
Tongariro and Waikaremoana Power
Schemes – Ruapehu College, Wairoa
College and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o
Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairoa.
One of the people who has made a
big switch in how they get to work
since we moved office is Jackie
Mullan, Group Manager Legal. Jackie
previously commuted to our old
offices by car, five days a week. With
the move to Wynyard Quarter, she
weighed up her options. Driving would
mean paying for parking and walking
the rest of the way in all weather,
laden down with her laptop and gym
bag. The train and bus both landed
her at Britomart, which meant another
15-minute walk to complete her trip.
Cycling was a clear winner and she
made the conscious investment in
an e-bike.
“It seemed logical. There’s a really
good cycle lane from my house to the
office, and the bike has saddlebags
on the side, so I just pop my laptop
and gym gear in there and I’m ready
to go – door to door,” says Jackie. The
extra health benefits of the 22km daily
commute haven’t gone unnoticed,
either. Adding in Pilates three times a
week means Jackie is definitely doing
more exercise than she was before
switching office locations.
“There are some really obvious
benefits of the new commute and
fitness is a key one for me,” she
says. “There’s also the benefit of
feeling good about the exercise, and
being out in the fresh air, getting the
blood pumping before work – feeling
more energised.”

Enabling a
low carbon future
for all New Zealanders
We sit at the intersection of supply and
demand for several energy sources
as well as being the generator of last
resort and this places us in a unique
position to see the opportunities and
risks that lie ahead for the country, our
customers and Genesis.
It allows us to understand the
interdependencies of the energy
sector, how to transition from
fuels without creating unintended
consequences across the economy
and to make the case for reliable
and affordable electricity that can
help decarbonise other sectors.
Importantly, it also means we can help
our customers move towards a more
sustainable future by giving them the
knowledge and advice they need to
take action.
We have a simple maxim for our
approach: knowledge, advice, action
- providing useful information to
customers, tailoring recommendations
based on that information and then
helping put that into action.
Over the last year we have focused
on working with our commercial and
industrial customers to help them
better understand their energy use
and, for some, develop decarbonisation
road maps. By year’s end we grew the
number of customers we engaged with
from 6% to more than 20%. We have
partnered with Christchurch based
carbon and engineering consultants
DETA on more than 20 energy audits
for medium to large companies across
agriculture, manufacturing, tourism
and local government.
Over this time, we have noticed a
difference between how international
companies that operate here and local
businesses tackle emissions. Many
offshore based companies already
have targets, measuring and reporting
in place while many local businesses
are yet to start. It is not a resistance
to change, but an information and
education gap with businesses not
knowing where to start.
We feel a responsibility to help fill
those gaps and enable businesses
to develop and accelerate carbon
reduction plans to support the
country’s goal of a low carbon future.
Building on the work we have done
with large customers we are piloting
a new digital platform that will help
small-medium businesses measure
their energy use plus the costs and
emissions from the electricity they use.
This allows them to understand their
emissions profile and identify ways to
reduce it.
The Yashili factory produces more
than 50,000 tonnes of infant formula
for the global marketplace each year,
so it uses a considerable amount of
electricity and gas. Its vision is to be an
energy efficiency leader in its industry,
ultimately becoming a net zero dairy
processing plant.
Yashili has been working with Genesis
for several years, not only supplying
energy but also helping measure
energy use and find ways to drive
efficiency. In 2019, we installed 140
energy monitoring sensors on site
as part of an Energy Insights trial.
That was our first look into the way
energy was used at the Pokeno factory.
In November 2020, Genesis and
Yashili began working together on a
decarbonisation road map which sets
out a strategic, technical, and financial
path to carbon neutrality, which will
allow Yashili to apply for Government
funding for fuel-switching and
decarbonising technology. In January
this year, we completed a site-wide
energy audit (in partnership with DETA
Consulting), which will help Yashili
reach its goal of reducing carbon
emissions by 20% over the next five
years from its 2020 baseline.
As New Zealand charts a path to a
low carbon future, Genesis has an
important role to play in not only
reducing our own emissions but
helping high emitting sectors and
our customers do the same.
Yashili: a roadmap to
net zero emissions
The future is low carbon
for dairy giant Yashili,
after the team at their
Pokeno factory has
worked with Genesis on
a comprehensive energy
audit and decarbonisation
roadmap.
Reduced emissions
over the next 5yrs
The energy audit produced suggestions
for changes which could reduce
power use by 13,845,200 MWh, an
18.8% overall reduction. That’s the
equivalent of removing 3,000 tonnes
of CO
2
and would save the company
around $650,000 each year. Some of
the recommendations have already
been implemented, and Yashili is now
saving $50,000 a year and reducing
its use of natural gas, water and
concentrated chemicals.
“We’ve recently had a report on
our progress, which is a very good
piece of work, because it gives us
an exhaustive list of opportunities
we could implement to achieve our
decarbonisation roadmap,” says
Remy Charbonnel, Yashili Operations
Director. “The next steps are not easy
– it’s extremely complicated and capex
demanding. But we now have a very
good picture of what is feasible, as well
as market trends and environmentally
friendly new technologies. This is
a massive challenge, and we are
only at the beginning.”

Research has identified three main
barriers to EV uptake as cost, driving
range and charging infrastructure.
The government has started the push
to get more New Zealanders into EVs
with a rebate scheme on new and
used EVs. At Genesis we’ve focused on
overcoming the other two barriers.
Research we did this year with the
UMR research company showed 68%
of New Zealanders expect climate
change to have a lot or reasonable
impact on the way they live and work
over the next 10 years. But underlining
the challenge ahead, 41% said they
don’t have the information they need to
reduce their personal or household
carbon footprint and 17% not only don’t
have the information, they don’t know
where to find it.
Energy retailers have a crucial role
to play in filling that information gap.
Developing the tools and information
that our customers can use to manage
their usage and reduce their footprint
is an established part of our operating
rhythm. Our Energy IQ platform
continues to evolve in providing
household customers insights and tools
to help better manage their energy
use, control their costs and lower their
environmental impact.
We’re also providing data that enables
customers to make decisions via smart
meters. In recent years, our smart
meter electricity customers have had
access to a wealth of features that
allow them to manage their use hourly,
forecast their consumption, provide
usage spike alerts and a breakdown of
their consumption at an
appliance level.
One feature recently introduced allows
customers to understand what times
during the day have high or low carbon
generation nationwide allowing them
to plan their use to reduce carbon
emissions. By using smart meter data,
we are able to let customers know
at an hourly level how much of their
consumption was high or low carbon
giving them the insights to plan and
optimise their usage.
In a New Zealand first, we also stated
rolling out smart meters for reticulated
gas customers in May, after two
trials earlier in the year. Nearly 600
customers now have them installed
with a further 6,000 expected to be in
place by the end of this year. The goal
is to have 90,000 more rolled out by
mid-2024. The meters mean there are
no longer any estimates in billing and
manual meter readings are no longer
required. Customers are able to see
their daily usage and we are working
to fully integrate EIQ features so
they have full visibility across all their
energy use.
Reducing Transport
Emissions
Energy IQ keeps
driving change
With transport accounting for
approximately 20% of the country’s
emissions we see a key role for
electricity to help decarbonise the
sector, particularly private vehicles.
Smart metering allows
smart choices
Over the last year we conducted a
trial with a select group of customers
to understand their needs, behaviour
and usage. The trial involved overnight
recharging at home, which is not
only the most affordable time, but
it also has the least emissions. We
saw behavioural changes with
many customers shifting the use of
appliances such as dishwasher and
washing machines to the same off-peak
times. As a result, we have developed
a plan providing EV owners 50% off the
cost of electricity between the hours
of 9pm – 7am. We’ve seen a 6% shift in
consumption from on-peak to off-peak
so far.
We’ve built on this by piloting a New
Zealand first ‘charge anywhere’ option.
This allows Genesis customers to
recharge their car at any public
recharging station and have it billed to
their Genesis account. It is designed to
solve range anxiety and the cost of
public charging that some EV owners
are concerned about. It has proven to
be a clear differentiator with 95% of
customers saying they would stay with
Genesis due to this product and
44% saying they would recommend
it to others.
Customers can compare their energy
usage with others, see what areas of
their home consume the most power,
and monitor emissions when they use
their electricity. This year, we have also
given customers more tools to better
forecast and understand their
upcoming electricity bills. Over the
financial year there were more than
11.6 million interactions with Energy IQ
features, 275,000 unique users,
585,000 views of the new billing
insights feature (since April) and more
than 100,000 energy saving
tips provided.
In addition to the insights it provides,
Energy IQ (EIQ) continues to take more
pain points away from customers and
streamline services across the board
from moving home, to paying bills and
ordering deliveries. Energy IQ is
playing a key role in providing
customers with the insights they need
to make informed decisions and that
will only grow as more New Zealanders
understand they have a role to play as
individuals and households in a
successful transition to a low
carbon future.

Our people
are our strength
Product innovation, operational
excellence and constantly finding new
ways to do things better are core to
who we are. As we grow and evolve as
an organisation, we want our people to
do so too.
We believe diverse teams bring diverse
thinking and deliver better results.
Work continues in closing the gender
pay and leadership gaps. There was
slight improvement this year with the
total gender pay gap closing by 1.7% to
35.5% and the pay equity gap dropped
from 1.9% to 1.7%. The leadership
progression gap widened slightly to
55% male, 45% female
(see graph).
Data like this is available on
dashboards that anyone in the
business can access, an initiative put in
place by our 14-person Diversity and
Inclusion Council.
Refreshed benefits
We also transitioned to a new suite of
benefits for our permanent employees.
We worked hard to design a refreshed
package that ensured our people
were getting the best value from our
comprehensive benefits portfolio. In
this review we considered the survey
feedback from nearly two-thirds
of staff. The improvements, across
insurance, medical support and
wellbeing, KiwiSaver contributions and
our employee energy discount, ensure
our benefits remain meaningful and
provide peace of mind to the Genesis
team and their families.
Flexing as a team
Our flexible way of working is a
strategic enabler of our diverse
and high performing teams. Many
organisations talk about leadership
from the top down. At Genesis we lead
from the inside out. No person in the
business has an office. Look around
and you’ll find our senior leaders
sharing workspace as part of our open
plan culture. This supports integrity
and inclusivity and enables them to
lead by example and be among the first
to hear and share breakthrough ideas,
successes and failures.
Flexible working is well established and
is based on four principles – team first,
manaaki (care) for yourself and others,
be adaptive and take responsibility for
your outcomes. Now, 41% of staff are
working out of the office between two
and four days a week.
It’s not just in Auckland that this
happens. For 18 months, half of
our customer service reps (CSR)
have worked from home in various
locations across the North Island,
around 40 CSRs and 2 team leaders.
Last October we introduced flexible
hours that enabled our CSRs to work a
schedule so they could attend personal
and family events such as school
assemblies and sports days. This may
sound straight forward but in a contact
centre where everything is rostered
and structured it was quite a change
to implement and is working for our
people and our business.
Adaptive leadership
Having the right type of leaders across
the business is an important part of our
future success. We operate in a rapidly
evolving environment where, more
than ever, we need leaders at different
levels who are capable of adapting and
have a growth mindset.
Our challenge is to continually balance
the need to transform our business for
the long term with the need to perform
and deliver on multiple fronts in the
short term. To help us achieve that
we launched the Adaptive Leaders
Programme. This is strengthening
our ability to navigate and handle the
complexities of change and develop
high performing teams that are aligned,
empowered and accountable.
The course is held over four months
and runs in cohorts of 15 people
from across the business. They are
encouraged to get out of their comfort
zone, be honest with themselves and
apply what they learnt to help their
teams grow also. So far, more than 90
leaders have successfully completed
the course and we are already seeing
the results ripple across the business.
Innovation in action
Innovation thrives across the business.
Our people are always seeking new
and innovative ways of engaging our
customers, operating our assets and
working smarter to be able to create
value from uncertainty.
This year, our Predictive Analytics team
won the Innovation category at the
national Energy Excellence Awards for
a project that saw two key people from
different teams identify an opportunity
to improve the operation of our sites.
Lin-Yi Chou is a data scientist, Michael
Eschenbruch an engineer. The pair
came together at a company hackathon
proposing the concept of creating a
predictive analytics model to help with
maintenance at different plants. Lin-Yi
has developed a front-end software
programme that site staff and others
with no specialist data or programming
skills can select and prepare sensor
data points and then build them into
predictive models. The parts of a site
to be monitored were identified by
Michael and he translated years of data
for Lin-Yi to use.
Initially they thought they might need
20 or 30 models. Now, there are over
1200 examining historical and current
data from thousands of sensors across
Genesis’ hydro generation sites. The
models identify plant anomalies,
reducing downtime and maintenance
costs and allowing more time to plan
safe and effective remedial work.
Using data analytics like this is market
leading internationally and within the
New Zealand energy sector. The next
step is moving it to the cloud.
Across Genesis, every team member,
whatever their role, carries our
reputation with them each day in
advocating for the business and
providing value to our customers
and communities. Across every site
and office, our success depends on
building a business where people feel
proud to work for us and genuinely
care about each other. We look forward
to continuing to meet and exceed
the expectations of our shareholders,
customers, partners and other
stakeholders.
The council has had a busy 12 months.
They have updated our diversity and
inclusion policy and started delivery
of their strategy which has made its
presence felt. The aims are to promote
and raise awareness of our diversity,
grow our cultural capability, strengthen
our connection with the Rainbow
community and develop a sense of
belonging to a Genesis family. We’ve
started the process toward earning
the Rainbow Tick, developed a Te Reo
resource for staff and we celebrate
cultural dates of significance.
Our industry is constantly
changing – driven by market
dynamics, technology shifts and
evolving consumer needs.

1.a. Describe the climate-related risks
and opportunities the organisation has
identified over the short, medium, and
long term
1.b. Describe the impact of climate-
related risks and opportunities on the
organisation’s businesses, strategy,
and financial planning.
Genesis’ strategy is centred around the
role that Genesis plays in the energy
markets today and in New Zealand’s
transition to a low carbon future,
encapsulated by our new company
purpose of “Empowering New Zealand’s
Sustainable Future”. This includes:
• the Future-gen programme
to displace baseload thermal
generation with renewable energy
and increase portfolio flexibility;
• providing essential back up to
New Zealand’s renewable electricity
system; and
• giving insights to our customers
to help them make well informed
energy choices.
• The outcome of the arbitration
with Beach Energy has no impact
on our climate related risks and
opportunities.
Our assessment of climate risks
highlights some of the key risks and
opportunities faced by Genesis over
the short-, medium-, and longer-term.
Our strategy and plans are intended
to minimise the risks and maximise
the opportunities.
1.c. Describe the resilience of the
organisation’s strategy, taking into
consideration different climate-
related scenarios, including a 2°C
or lower scenario.
Scenario planning is an integral part of
Genesis’ strategic planning process.
Our scenarios consider a range of
different possible futures, including
different climate transition pathways
covering 1.5°C, 2°C, and 4°C scenarios.
These scenarios are used when
reviewing the overall strategy and
when making major investments to
ensure the resilience of the business
across a range of different climate and
market outcomes.
The timeframes used when considering
climate risks are significantly longer
than the normal planning horizon:
• Short Term: one to 10 years
• Medium Term: 10 to 20 years
• Long Term: 20+ years
Regulatory changes that impact
thermal generation: Changes to
market mechanism or other regulatory
interventions could have an adverse
impact on the value of thermal
generation assets. Mitigating this risk
is our diverse range of generation
assets and the Future-gen programme
to actively transition the role of
thermal generation in our portfolio.
Also, regulatory changes that drive
electrification increase demand in our
main core market.
Environmental and physical changes
that impact thermal generation:
Operation of the Huntly Power
Station could be impacted by physical
changes in the environment both acute
and chronic. An example of this is a
potential reduction in cooling capacity
due to heating events in the Waikato
River. The shorter term rating of this risk
recognises the changing role of thermal
generation in our portfolio and the
impact of the Future-gen programme.
Consumer and investor preference,
and perception of other stakeholders,
impacting our operating landscape:
Potential shifts in investor, customer
and stakeholder sentiment around
carbon emissions could create
brand and reputation risks with
consumers and other stakeholders.
The introduction of our science based
target consistent with a 1.50C climate
outcome by 2025, supported by the
delivery of the Future-gen programme,
provides mitigation with a clear target,
although failure to meet the target also
represents risk to Genesis.
Technological disruption: The global
energy transition is driving innovation
and rapid changes in technology. The
effects could potentially disrupt the
energy industry, existing assets, and
incumbent participants. Conversely,
many of the key trends of the energy
transition, in particular electrification
as a means of decarbonisation, are
potential opportunities to existing
energy businesses.
Long-term climate changes that
impact hydro generation: Long-
term changes in the climate could
alter the inflows or operations of
hydroelectric generation assets,
which are dependent on weather
patterns and environmental factors
for successful operation.

An extensive disclosure was made in the annual report for FY20 much of which remains valid for this financial year. This
disclosure focuses on the elements of our climate risk assessment or framework that have changed since the previous
disclosure.
*Note: Impact rating corresponds to a defined Genesis risk management matrix. For example, 'high' impact risks or opportunities have the potential to materially impact the
business and require significant action across multiple business units.
Acute climate events causing damage
to critical infrastructure and assets:
Infrastructure assets and physical
sites across the country are subject
to potential impact from severe
weather events, which may increase in
frequency and intensity with climate
change. Genesis maintains a thorough
risk review and maintenance plan
across all sites and facilities, however,
this risk is noted as in the longer term
the extremity of events may exceed
current design limits.

4.a. Describe the organisation’s
processes for identifying and
assessing climate-related risks.
Climate-related risks are a subset of
the Genesis’ overall risk management
process. Risks are identified and
assessed by the Risk and Strategy
teams, under the supervision of the
Group Manager Strategy and Risk. The
Group Manager Strategy and Risk
reports to the Chief Financial Officer.
Risk specialists are tasked with
constant research and market analysis
to monitor the Company’s risk
landscape to identify new, emerging
or developing risks.
Using defined climate scenarios, the
Risk and Strategy teams work with key
experts from across the business to
identify a wide range of climate-related
risks and opportunities. These are then
categorised and assessed using a form
of the Risk Matrix adapted for use with
longer-term climate risks. The results
of the risk assessment are reviewed
and approved by the Executive Team
and incorporated into corporate risk
management systems.
4.b. Describe the organisation’s
processes for managing climate-
related risks.
The management of physical
climate-related risks is similar to
other event-driven risks, for example
weather, seismic and volcanic risks.
Management is primarily through
mitigation. Although financial risks
are transferred through insurance, the
primary focus is ensuring the highest
level of safety. Assets are proactively
managed to ensure the continued
resilience of these assets in the face
of potential events.
The nature of transitional climate-risks
is similar to other ‘strategic risks’ and
as such are managed through existing
strategic risk management processes.
Genesis proactively manages these
risks as part of its long-term strategy.
This management includes regular
monitoring against key risk indicators
and scenarios, designed to proactively
identify associated risks.
4.c. Describe how processes for
identifying, assessing, and managing
climate-related risks are integrated
into the organisation’s overall risk
management.
Climate-related risks are incorporated
into Genesis’ comprehensive risk
identification and assessment
framework and process as defined by
the Risk Management Policy. These
processes result in a comprehensive
register of risks that are actively
managed. Risks that are rated as
“extreme” or “high” are reviewed
six-monthly by the Audit and Risk
Committee of the Board.

3.a. Describe the Board’s oversight
of climate-related risks and
opportunities.
Genesis’ Board is ultimately
accountable to shareholders for the
long-term stewardship of the Company,
including any long-term risks, including
climate risk. As part of its core
governance function, the Board takes
an active role in the Company’s
executive oversight and sets the
Company's overall strategic direction.
All key risks and opportunities are
considered by the Board as appropriate
when reviewing and guiding strategy
and the operations of the Company,
including as part of its
Risk Management Policy and
Framework. This is additionally
managed by delegation to the Audit
and Risk Committee. This year as part
of the regular review of policies,
“climate risk” was explicitly added
as a category of risk in the Genesis Risk
Management Policy.
3.b. Describe management’s role in
assessing and managing climate-
related risks and opportunities.
Climate-related risks are a key
component of Genesis’ long-term risk
management and factor into all
risk-based policies and frameworks. As
New Zealand’s largest energy retailer
and owner of some of New Zealand’s
largest hydro and thermal generation
assets, Genesis has a responsibility to
be transparent about climate change
and the related risks it poses to the
business and the opportunities
afforded by a decarbonised and
electrified New Zealand. This affects
almost every aspect of the business
and these risks are managed from
senior leadership down through
the business.

and tied to the international benchmark
of 1.5°C. Our target is to remove more
than 1.2m tonnes of carbon over the
next five years, we aim to reduce
Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 36% and
reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions
from use of sold products 21% by 2025.
These are explained on page 14 of the
annual report.
We note that the unfavourable
outcome of the Beach arbitration
process in August 2021 does not impact
the Company’s carbon reduction
targets or our ability to deliver against
these targets. This is because the
emissions under the gas supply
agreement that was the subject of the
dispute have always been included in
our TCFD reporting.

On 27 November 2020 Genesis announced that it was undertaking
a strategic review in relation to its interest in Kupe. The review
considered a number of areas including the returns and risks of
a potential drilling programme, the optimal capital structure for

investment opportunities. Subsequent to 30 June 2021 the Board
concluded that continued ownership was in the best interests of
the Company and its shareholders.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared:

entities;
• In accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013,
the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993;
• Using the historical cost convention, modified by the

• In New Zealand dollars rounded to the nearest 100,000;
• On a Goods and Services Tax ('GST') exclusive basis with the
exception of receivables and payables, which include GST
where GST has been invoiced;
• Using the accounting policies set out in the notes to the
financial statements. The impact of adopting new and revised
accounting standards, interpretations and amendments is
disclosed below.
Estimates and judgements
In the process of preparing the financial statements Management
makes a number of estimates and judgements based on historical
experience and various other factors that are reasonable under the
circumstances.
The table below lists the key estimates and judgements:
Key estimates and judgementsNotePage
Fair value of generation assetsB159
Depletion of oil and gas producing assetsB261
Valuation of rehabilitation and restoration
provisions
C465
Valuation of electricity derivativesF877
Estimates are also used in determining other items such as
the expected credit loss provision (note C1), the useful lives of
property, plant and equipment and software (note B1 and B3), and
whether assets with indefinite useful lives are impaired (note B3).
Judgements are further used in determining whether an event
gives rise to a provision or a contingent liability (note G5).
COVID-19
To date the economic disruption caused from the COVID-19
pandemic has not had a material impact on reported results. This
is mainly due to the fact that Genesis provides an essential service.
Impairment of assets
Assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to depletion, depreciation or
amortisation are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. If an asset’s carrying value
exceeds its recoverable amount, the difference is recognised
as an impairment loss in the income statement, except where
the asset is carried at a revalued amount then it is treated as a
revaluation decrease up to the amount previously recognised in
the revaluation reserve.
Adoption of new and revised accounting standards,
interpretations and amendments
Implementation of IFRS Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC')
agenda decision on Configuration and Customisation costs
incurred in implementing Software-as-a-Service ('SaaS')
The IFRS Interpretations Committee released an agenda decision
in April 2021 in relation to accounting for configuration and
customisation costs incurred in implementing SaaS arrangements.
The agenda decision clarifies how current accounting standards
should be applied to these types of arrangements. The Group
has completed an initial risk based scoping exercise which has
indicated that application of the agenda decision may reduce
intangible assets by up to $18.6 million as at 30 June 2021, of
which up to $8.1 million may be recognised in the current year
income statement and up to $3.0 million in the prior year income
statement. A detailed review has commenced and is expected to
be completed within the next six months.

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2021 / NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Amendment to NZ IFRS 9, NZ IAS 39 and NZ IFRS 7 - Interest
rate benchmark reform
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being
undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank
offered rates (IBORs) with alternative nearly risk-free rates
(referred to as ‘IBOR reform’). These alternative risk-free rates are
gradually being adopted; however, there are uncertainties around
the timing and method of transition.
The transition from IBOR is expected to have implications
on financial accounting including the fair value of financial
instruments, hedge accounting and disclosures. The New
Zealand Accounting Standards Board issued Interest Rate
Benchmark Reform – Amendments to NZ IFRS 9 , NZ IAS 39 and
NZ IFRS 7 to provide temporary relief for hedge accounting
requirements. These amendments allow an entity to assume no
impact to existing hedge relationships in the period leading up to
the reform.
The Group uses interest rate swaps and cross currency interest
rate swaps ('CCIRS') to manage interest rate risk. These
instruments reference either the Bank Bill Market ('BKBM') or
the USD LIBOR. Of these benchmarks the Group expects BKBM
to exist as a benchmark rate for the foreseeable future and
therefore does not believe its BKBM benchmark fair value or
cash flow hedges will be directly impacted by the IBOR reform.
The Group has fixed rate United States Private Placement
('USPP') notes which have been swapped back to floating
rates using CCIRS which are linked to USD LIBOR. The IBOR
reform may impact the level of effectiveness that is obtained
from hedge accounting CCIRS. Phase 1 amendments allow the
Group to continue hedge accounting by assuming the LIBOR
is not altered until such time that the LIBOR is replaced. As the
replacement benchmark has yet to be established the likely
impact of replacing the LIBOR is unknown at this stage. Refer to
note F4 for further information on the CCIRS.
A plan is being developed to prepare for the transition to
alternative risk-free benchmarks, which will include actions
required to update processes, systems and documentation,
including contract changes where necessary.
Accounting standards, interpretations and amendments in issue
not yet effective
Phase 2 of the IBOR reform noted above is effective from 1
January 2021. The amendments will enable the Group to reflect
the effects of transitioning from IBOR to alternative benchmark
interest rates without giving rise to accounting impacts that
would not provide useful information to users of financial
statements. There are no other standards, interpretations and
amendments approved but not yet effective in the current year
that are likely to have a material impact to the Group.
A1. Underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings
Underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings are performance
measures used internally to provide insight into the operating
performance of the Group by adjusting for items that are
outside Management's control or items that relate to strategic
rather than operational decisions. Items are excluded from
underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings when they
meet the criteria outlined in the Group's non-GAAP financial
information policy (refer to www.genesisenergy.co.nz/
investors/governance/documents for a copy of the policy).

There were no differences between reported EBITDAF and underlying EBITDAF.
These measures are considered to be non-GAAP performance
measures. They should not be viewed in isolation nor considered
a substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS.
Underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings are used by many
companies; however, because these measures are not defined
by NZ IFRS they may not be uniformly defined or calculated
by all companies. Accordingly, these measures may not be
comparable.
A2. Arbitration decision in respect of a carbon liability
dispute
Genesis has been engaged in a contractual dispute relating to
the carbon terms of one of its long-term gas supply agreements
since 2018. Following an escalation process, in May 2019 the
matter was referred to arbitration in accordance with the terms
of the agreement. No provision for a liability was recognised in
the 2019 or 2020 financial years as Genesis was confident of a
favourable outcome and, as a result, the dispute was disclosed
as a contingent liability. The arbitrator's decision, released in
July 2021, determined that Genesis was required to meet the
carbon liability for gas supplied since 1 January 2018, up to the
date the contract expires. In addition to this Genesis is obligated
under the decision to reimburse the counterparty for their costs
associated with the dispute. The arbitrator's decision is final
and binding. As a result an accrual for $52.9 million has been
recognised in the current year.

Judgement used in determining revenue
Where customer meters are unbilled at balance date the Group uses judgement to determine the volume of the unbilled revenue. The
Group estimates the unbilled volume using historical consumption information. Unbilled revenue is disclosed in note C1. Where a
discount is offered, revenue is initially recognised net of the estimated discount.

The accounting policies applied to material revenue streams are disclosed below and the quantum of each revenue stream is disclosed
in note A3. Emissions on fuel sales and electricity contracts is not a separate performance obligation under the revenue standard. It
has been reported separately as it provides useful information to the financial statement users.
Segmentation
The segments are based on the different products and
services offered by the Group. All segments operate
in New Zealand. No operating segments have been
aggregated. The Group has no individual customers
that account for 10.0 per cent or more of the Group's
external revenue (2020: none). Included in the Retail
segment result is $41.2 million of costs (2020: $40.5
million) relating to the Technology and Digital team
who provide services to all of the segments.
Intersegment revenue
Sales between segments is based on transfer prices
developed in the context of long-term contracts. The
electricity transfer price per MWh charged between
Wholesale and Retail was $90.73 (2020: $85.97).

Generation assets
Generation assets include land, buildings, and plant and
equipment associated with generation assets. Generation assets
are recognised in the balance sheet at fair value at the date of
the valuation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses. The underlying assumptions used in
the valuation are reviewed at each reporting date. Revaluations
are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying
amount does not materially differ from the estimated fair value
at balance date.
Any increase in the valuation is recognised in other
comprehensive income, unless it reverses a revaluation
decrease for the same asset previously recognised in the
income statement, in which case it is recognised in the income
statement to the extent it reverses a decrease previously
recognised. A decrease in carrying amount arising on revaluation
is recognised in the income statement to the extent that it
exceeds the balance, if any, held in the asset revaluation reserve
for that asset. Accumulated depreciation at the date of the
revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying value so that
the gross carrying amount after revaluation equals the revalued
amount.
Subsequent additions to generation assets are recognised at
cost. Cost includes the consideration given to acquire the asset
plus any other costs incurred in bringing the asset to the location
and condition necessary for its intended use, including major
inspection costs, resource consent, relationship agreement costs
and financing costs where appropriate.
Generation assets were revalued at 30 June 2021 to $3,273.2
million (2020: no revaluation adjustment was required) resulting
in a net gain on revaluation of $191.5 million (2020: nil). The
revaluation gain was principally driven by an increase in
wholesale electricity prices, partially offset by lower net portfolio
generation volumes and higher fuel costs. The revaluation
increase taken to the income statement partially reverses
previous revaluation decreases for Huntly units 1 to 4.

Key estimates and judgements
Wholesale electricity price path
The wholesale electricity price path is the key driver of changes
in the valuation. The price path is an average of the internally
generated price path and price paths published by two
independent third parties, and as a result reflects the uncertainty
surrounding Tiwai Point smelter operating beyond 2024 and the
impact this could have on future prices.
Internally generated price path
The internally generated price path assumes wholesale
electricity demand will continue to grow based on the latest
available industry analysis and Genesis' view of future economic
growth. Forecast hydrology is based on 83 years of historical
hydrological inflow data. New and retiring generation plant
assumptions are based on publicly available information and
Genesis' view on wholesale electricity prices required to support
the plant. The internally generated price path assumes that
Tiwai Point smelter will continue to operate beyond 2024.
Price paths published by independent third parties
Independent third party price path assumptions on the future
of Tiwai Point smelter range from Tiwai Point smelter exiting in
2025 through to operating beyond 2025 or the generation load
consumed by Tiwai Point smelter being replaced by other major
industrial loads beyond 2025.
Leased assets
Leased assets include right of use assets recognised in relation
to office buildings, land for generation sites and LPG depot
leases. The cost of leased assets comprises the amount of
the corresponding initial lease liability, lease payments made
at or before the commencement date, initial direct costs and
restoration costs. The leased asset is subsequently measured at
cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The
leased asset is depreciated over the lease term.
All other categories of property, plant and equipment
All other categories of property, plant and equipment, with the
exception of land and capital work in progress, are recognised
at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses. Land and capital work in progress are not
depreciated.
Asset categoryEstimated useful lives
Generation assetsup to 85 years
Other property, plant and equipment3 to 50 years
Leased assets4 to 38 years
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis. The estimated
useful lives are reviewed annually. An asset’s carrying amount is
written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
The valuation is based on a discounted cash flow model prepared
by Management, calculated by generating scheme, except for
the Huntly site where it is calculated by type of unit (units 1 to 4,
unit 5 and unit 6). As the key inputs into the valuation are based
on unobservable market data, the valuation is classified as level 3
in the fair value hierarchy. It requires significant judgement, and
therefore there is a range of reasonably possible assumptions
Other key assumptions
The valuation also includes assumptions around market fuel and electricity supply and demand. Our longer term demand assumption
increases from industrial electrification and electric vehicle fleet growth in response to climate change. The impact of COVID-19
has also been considered in the valuation, primarily through the wholesale electricity price path. Our current view is that Genesis’
generation will be less affected by COVID-19 as it is an essential service and the vaccine rollout is underway. Changes in these
interrelated factors will impact the wholesale electricity price path and generation volumes. These factors are reviewed for
reasonableness by senior management personnel who are responsible for the price path used by the business.
that could be used in estimating the fair value. Refer to note F8
for an overview of the fair value hierarchy.
If generation assets were carried at historical cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, the
carrying amount would be approximately $1,515.0 million (2020:
$1,534.6 million).

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
All exploration and evaluation costs, including directly
attributable overheads and general permit activity, are expensed
as incurred except for the costs of drilling exploration wells,
compression work and the costs of acquiring new interests.
The costs of drilling exploration wells and compression work is
initially capitalised pending the determination of the success of
the wells or compression work. Costs are expensed immediately
where the work does not result in a successful discovery. Costs
incurred before the Group has obtained the legal rights to
explore an area are expensed as incurred.
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure assets are
not amortised; instead, they are assessed annually for indicators
of impairment. Any impairment is recognised in the income
statement. Once development of a project has been completed,
the accumulated expenditure in relation to the project is
transferred to oil and gas producing assets.
Oil and gas producing assets
Oil and gas producing assets include costs associated with
the production station, platform and pipeline transferred
from exploration, evaluation and development expenditure,
mining licences and major inspection costs. Depletion of oil

calculated on a unit-of-production basis using proved remaining
reserves ('1P') estimated to be obtained from, or processed
by, the specific asset. Major inspection costs are depreciated
on a straight line basis over the period up to the next major
inspection. Major inspections occur every two to ten years
depending on the nature of the work undertaken.
Key estimates and judgements
Proved reserves ('1P') are the estimated quantities of oil and
gas that geological and engineering data demonstrates with
reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from
known reservoirs, under existing economic and operating
conditions. Proved reserves ('1P') are defined as those that have
a 90 per cent likelihood of being delivered. Because the geology
of the Kupe oil and gas field subsurface cannot be examined
directly, an indirect technique, known as volumetrics, has been
used to estimate the size and recoverability of the reserve. There
are high levels of uncertainty in terms of accessibility of reserves
through sealing faults and pressure support.
In the prior year the Joint Venture Operator performed a
review of Kupe's reserves. Genesis engaged Gaffney Cline, an
independent expert, to review and verify the Operator's reserve
estimate, which resulted in an increase in remaining reserves
for both proved reserves ('1P') and proved and probable reserves
('2P'). No change in reserves was considered necessary for the
current year. A reduction of 10 per cent in these reserves would
increase depletion charges going forward by approximately $3.4
million per annum at current production rates. The table below
presents the remaining Kupe oil and gas field reserves in Peta
joule equivalents ('PJe') of which the Group has a 46.0 per cent
interest (2020: 46.0 per cent).

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business
acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date
of acquisition. Goodwill is assessed as having an indefinite useful
life and is not amortised but is subject to impairment testing
at each reporting date or whenever there are indications of
impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill has
been allocated to the following cash-generating units ('CGU'):
Goodwill by CGU
2021
$ million
2020
$ million
Retail – electricity and gas102.6102.6
Retail – LPG112.6112.6
Kupe13.213.2
Total goodwill228.4228.4
Retail – electricity and gas
The goodwill associated with the electricity and gas business
mainly relates to the acquisition of NGC electricity and gas
business in 2002 and 2003. The impairment test is based on
an estimated discounted cash flow analysis (value in use).
Estimated future cash flow projections are based on the Group's
five-year business plan for the CGU. Cash flows beyond the
five-year business plan are extrapolated using a 1.0 per cent
year-on-year growth rate (2020: 1.0 per cent). The estimated
future cash flow projections are discounted using a pre-tax
equivalent discount rate of 9.3 per cent (2020: 9.4 per cent).
Any reasonably possible change in key assumptions on which
the recoverable amount is based is not expected to cause the
carrying value of the goodwill to exceed its recoverable amount.
Retail – LPG
The goodwill associated with LPG relates to the acquisition
of the LPG business from Nova Energy on 1 June 2017. The
impairment test is based on an estimated discounted cash flow
analysis (fair value less disposal costs) using ten years of forecast
information. Cash flows beyond the forecast period are based
on an EBITDAF multiple of 7.5x (2020: 7.5x). The estimated future
cash flow projections are discounted using a pre-tax equivalent
discount rate of 10.3 per cent (2020: 9.4 per cent). The forecast
takes into consideration both the acquired and existing LPG
business, as the assets of the acquired business are used to
service the pre-acquisition LPG customers. Any reasonably
possible change in key assumptions on which the recoverable
amount is based is not expected to cause the carrying value of
the goodwill to exceed its recoverable amount. As the valuation
is based on inputs that are not based on observable market data
the valuation is classified as level three in the fair value hierarchy.
Refer to note F8 for an overview of the fair value hierarchy.
Key assumptions in the impairment tests for electricity and gas and LPG were:
AssumptionsMethod of determination
Customer numbers and
customer churn
Review of actual customer numbers and historical data regarding movements in customer
numbers (the historical analysis is considered against expected market trends and competition for
customers).
Gross margin
(electricity and gas)
Review of actual gross margins and consideration of expected market movements and impacts.
EBITDAF (LPG)Review of actual EBITDAF and consideration of expected market movements and impacts.
Cost to serve Review of actual costs to serve and consideration of expected future costs.
Kupe
The goodwill associated with Kupe relates to the acquisition of
the Kupe subsidiaries from New Zealand Oil and Gas Limited
('NZOG') on 1 January 2017. The impairment test is based on
an estimated discounted cash flow analysis (value in use). The
estimated future cash flow projections are based on proved and
probable reserves ('2P'), as disclosed in note B2. The pre-tax
equivalent discount rate was 11.3 per cent (2020: 9.4 per cent).
Any reasonably possible change in key assumptions on which
the recoverable amount is based is not expected to cause the
carrying value of the goodwill to exceed its recoverable amount.
B3. Intangible assets (continued)
Software
Software are assets with finite lives. These assets are recognised
at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised in the income statement on a straight
line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset from the date
it is available for use. The estimated useful life is between one
and ten years.
Emission units held for own use
Emission units held for own use are used to settle the Group's
emission obligation. The units are initially recognised at fair value
and are not revalued. As the units do not have an expiry date
they have an indefinite useful life. The units are not amortised
but are subject to impairment testing.
Contractual arrangements
Contractual arrangements include customer contracts and
relationships acquired through business acquisitions, and
sponsorship contracts.
Customer contracts and relationships
Customer contracts and relationships are assets with finite
lives. These assets are recognised at cost less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation of customer contracts and relationships related
to Kupe are recognised in the income statement on a units-of-
use basis, using proved remaining reserves ('1P') expected to
be obtained over the contract period. Remaining reserves used
in the calculations range from 129.0 to 218.3 PJe (2020: 160.7
to 250.0 PJe). Refer to note B2 for further information on the
reserves estimate.
B3. Intangible assets (continued)
Amortisation of customer contracts and relationships related to
the LPG business are recognised in the income statement on a
diminishing value basis over the estimated life of the contract or
relationship to reflect the likely churn of customers. The majority
of the assets have fifty year lives with one contract having a five-
year life.
Sponsorship contracts
Sponsorship contracts are assets with finite lives. These assets
are recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in the income
statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life
of the asset from the date it is available for use. The useful life
is based on the contract period, which ranges between one and
fifteen years.
Deferred customer acquisition costs
Customer acquisition costs that are directly attributable to
securing a particular customer contract are capitalised and
amortised over the length of the average customer tenure (30
months). Amortisation of these costs is included within operating
expenditure.

Trade receivables and accruals
Trade receivables and accruals are initially recognised at fair value
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Trade receivables
and accrued revenue that are known to be uncollectable are written
off. Total bad debts written off during the year was $4.2 million
(2020: $6.2 million).
C. Working capital and provisions
Expected credit loss provision
The expected credit loss provision is calculated using the
simplified approach, which takes into account the lifetime
expected credit loss on trade receivables and accrued revenue.
The allowance for expected credit losses is calculated using a
provision matrix, which is based on historic write-offs. Where
possible the percentages are adjusted for foreseeable future
economic conditions which may impact the collectability of trade
receivables and accrued revenue. In the prior year the provision
included an additional amount in anticipation of a possible
recession as a result of COVID-19, which was expected to impact
the collectability of trade receivables and accrued revenue. The
Group has not seen a significant change in the collectability of
trade receivables and as a result the additional provision made in
the prior year of $2.5 million has been released.

Fuel, petroleum, consumables and spare parts
Fuel, petroleum, consumables and spare parts are recognised
at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined
using the weighted average cost basis which includes
expenditure incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition, including shipping and handling. Net
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make
the sale.
Fuel inventories mainly consist of coal used in electricity
production. Fuel inventories (excluding natural gas) expensed
during the year amounted to $207.1 million (2020: $103.1 million).
Petroleum products consist of LPG and light crude oil held for
resale produced from the Kupe production facility. Petroleum
products expensed during the year amounted to $22.4 million
(2020: $25.8 million).
Consumables and spare parts are held to service or repair
generating assets. Consumables and spare parts relating to
Huntly unit 6 are impaired when incurred as the fair value of this
unit is nil.
Emission units held for trading
Emission units held for trading are measured at fair value.
Changes in the fair value are recognised in the income statement
within other gains (losses). The fair value is determined using
CommTrade's forward curve. As the fair value is calculated using
inputs that are not quoted prices, the units are classified as level
two in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to note F8 for an overview of
the fair value hierarchy.
substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee
are classified as finance leases, all other subleases are classified
as operating leases. The assessment is based on the right-of-use
asset arising from the head lease. Amounts due from lessees under
finance leases are recognised as lease receivables. Finance lease
income is allocated to individual periods based on a constant
periodic rate of return. Rental income from operating leases is
recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
C3. Payables and accruals (continued)
Trade payables and accruals
Trade payables and accruals are recognised when the Group
becomes obligated to make future payments, resulting from the
purchase of goods or services, and are subsequently carried at
amortised cost.
Employee benefits
A liability for employee benefits (wages and salaries, annual and
long service leave, and employee incentives) is recognised when
it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount is
capable of being measured reliably. Provisions made in respect
of employee benefits are measured using the remuneration rate
expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Emission obligations
Emission obligations are recognised as a liability when the Group
incurs the emission obligation. Emission units payable to third
parties are recognised at the average cost of emission units
on hand, up to the amount of units on hand at the recognition
date. Where the emission obligation exceeds the level of units
on hand, the excess obligation is measured at the contract
price where forward contracts exist or the market price for any
obligation not covered by units on hand or forward contracts.

Rehabilitation and restoration
The majority of this provision relates to the remediation of the
Huntly ash ponds and the Kupe production facility. The provision
represents the present value of the Group's best estimate of
future expenditure to be incurred to remediate the sites at
balance date. Key assumptions include: an estimate of when the
rehabilitation and restoration is likely to take place, the possible
remediation alternatives available, the expected expenditures
attached to each alternative and the foreign currency exchange
rate.
There is no provision for the remediation of the Huntly
generation site because the Group has the right to lease the site
in perpetuity, there is no fixed or planned termination date for
the Huntly lease and the site remains a key electricity generation
site for the Group. The lease of the site is independent of
decisions around the retirement of Huntly units 1 to 4, which are
planned to be available to the electricity market until such time
they are uneconomic to run. There may be costs and recoveries
associated with retiring Huntly units 1 to 4 but these cannot be
reliably estimated at this time.
Contractual arrangements
Contractual arrangements provisions relate to sponsorship and
relationship agreements with various parties. The provisions
represent the present value of the best estimate of cash flows
required to settle the Group's obligations under the agreements.
The timing of the outflows is expected to occur over the next 18
years.
Key estimates and judgements
The key assumptions that could have a material impact on
the Kupe production facility rehabilitation estimate relate
to foreign exchange rates, mobilisation and demobilisation
costs for rig and offshore supply vessel and regulatory
requirements in relation to the removal of the subsea
pipeline. The majority of costs are based in United States
dollars, and therefore are sensitive to fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. If the foreign exchange rate were
to decrease by 10 per cent the provision would increase by
$11.0 million. Given the equipment required to complete the
rehabilitation comes from overseas, the mobilisation and
demobilisation costs can fluctuate significantly depending
on the volume of work the contractor has nearby at the
time the rehabilitation is required to be completed. The full
cost of mobilisation and demobilisation has been provided
for, given the uncertainty around the ability to share these
costs with other entities. If the costs could be shared with
other entities the provision would decrease by between
$10.3 million and $20.6 million. The provision is based on
the removal of the shore section of the subsea pipeline.
The remaining pipeline will be flushed and left in situ. If
all of the pipeline needed to be removed, the cost would
increase the provision by $17.0 million. The rehabilitation is
estimated to be completed in approximately 15 years.

The Group is considered to share joint control based on the
contractual arrangements between the Group and other joint
operators that state unanimous decision-making is required for
relevant activities that most significantly impact the returns of
the joint operation.
Kupe Venture Limited is a party to a Deed of Cross Charge
('Deed'). The Deed was entered into pursuant to the Kupe Joint
Venture Operating Agreement ('JVOA') for the purpose of
securing the joint venture parties payment obligations under the
JVOA. Each joint venture party has granted a security interest

Kupe Joint Venture is classified as a joint operation under NZ
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. The Group's share of revenue,
expenditure, assets and liabilities is included in the Group
financial statements on a proportionate line-by-line basis. The
operating results of the Kupe Joint Venture are included in
the Kupe segment in note A3 and the Group's share of capital
expenditure commitments is disclosed in note G4.
D3. Share in associates and joint ventures
The Group has interests in the following arrangements, which are accounted for as either associates or joint ventures using
the equity method.
* Trading as Zilch
The Group acquired a 60.0 per cent interest in Ecotricity Limited Partnership and Ecotricity GP Limited on 2 February 2021.
The $1.3 million profit recorded in the income statement is made up of $1.6 million profit relating to associates and $0.3 million loss
relating to joint ventures.
E. Funding
E1. Capital management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that each entity in
the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while
maximising the return to shareholders through the appropriate
balance of debt and equity. This is achieved by ensuring that
the level and timing of its capital investment programmes,
equity raisings and dividend distributions are consistent with
the Group's capital structure strategy. This strategy remains
unchanged from previous years. The capital structure of the
Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed
in note E5, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to
the shareholders of Genesis, comprising issued capital, reserves
and retained earnings, as disclosed in the balance sheet.

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of
transaction costs incurred and are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Borrowings designated in a fair value hedge relationship are
carried at amortised cost adjusted for the change in the fair
value of the hedged risk.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group
has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for
at least 12 months after the balance date.

Lease liability
On initial recognition the lease liability comprises the
present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date. This includes fixed payments less any
lease incentives receivable and variable lease payments that are
based on an index or rate. The lease payments are discounted
using the incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that
the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary
to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic
environment with similar terms and conditions.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the
carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using
the effective interest method) and reducing the carrying amount
to reflect the lease payments made. The Group remeasures the
lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the
related lease asset) whenever the lease term changes, the lease
payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a lease
contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted
for as a separate lease. Lease payments on short term leases
where the lease term is 12 months or less and leases of low value
assets are recognised in operating expenses as incurred.

Interest on borrowings, bank and facility fees, and transaction

of the borrowings, using the effective interest rate method,
unless such costs relate to funding capital work in progress.
Time value of money adjustments on provisions are recognised
in the income statement up to the point the provision is used or
released.
Finance expense on capital work in progress (qualifying assets)
is capitalised during the construction period. The capitalisation
rate used to determine the amount of finance expense to be
capitalised is based on the weighted average finance expenses
incurred by the Group.
The valuation of the term loan facility and the wholesale term
notes is based on estimated discounted cash flow analyses, using
applicable market yield curves adjusted for the Group's credit
rating. The credit-adjusted market yield curves at balance date
used in the valuation ranged from 0.8 per cent to 2.1 per cent
(2020: 1.5 per cent to 1.8 per cent).
The valuation of USPP is based on estimated discounted cash
flow analyses, using applicable United States market yield
curves adjusted for the Group's credit rating. The credit-adjusted
market yield at balance date used in the valuation was 1.4 per
cent (2020: 1.1 per cent).
The carrying value of all other borrowings approximate their fair
values.
Security
All of the Group's borrowings are unsecured. The Group borrows
under a negative pledge arrangement, which does not permit the
Group to grant any security interest over its assets, unless it is an
exception permitted within the negative pledge.
E5. Borrowings (continued)
Commercial paper
A commercial paper programme has been established and the
first tranche of notes was issued in October 2020. Notes issued
to wholesale investors under the programme are short-term
money market instruments, unsecured and unsubordinated.
The issue of these notes is the main reason for the increase in
the current portion of borrowings. The funds received from the
commercial paper programme were used to repay the revolving
credit facility. The undrawn revolving credit facilities ensure the
Group will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due,
including the repayment of any commercial paper, under both
normal and stressed conditions.
Wholesale term notes
A $50.0 million wholesale term note was issued in July 2020. The
note expires in July 2022.
Capital bonds
The interest rate on the capital bonds resets every five years.
The next interest rate reset is June 2022 for the FY47 bonds and
July 2023 for the FY49 bonds.
USPP
During the 2015 financial year the Group issued $150.0 million
United States dollar-denominated unsecured notes to United
States-based institutional investors. Cross currency interest rate
swaps ('CCIRS') have been used to manage foreign exchange
and interest rate risks on the notes (refer to note F4 for further
information on CCIRS).
While the New Zealand dollar amount required to repay the
USPP is fixed as a result of the CCIRS, the USPP is required
to be translated to New Zealand dollars at the spot rate at the
reporting date. Any revaluation of the USPP as a result of this
translation is offset by the change in the fair value of the CCIRS.

F. Risk management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks,
including market risk (price risk, interest rate risk and foreign
exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board has
established policies that provide an overall risk management
framework, as well as policies covering specific areas, such
as electricity, oil and coal price risk, interest rate risk, foreign
exchange risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and the use of derivatives.
Compliance with policies is monitored by the risk assurance
function.
Market risk
Nature and exposure to the GroupNoteHow the risk is managed
Price risk
The Group is exposed to movements in
the spot price of electricity arising through
the sale and purchase of electricity to
and from the market, movements in the
spot price of light crude oil arising from
oil sales, movements in the spot price
of coal arising from coal purchases and
movements in the spot price of emission
units.
F2
The Group aims to hedge price risk on electricity sales and purchases, oil
sales, coal purchases and emission costs by entering into electricity swaps and
options and PPAs, oil and coal price swaps and forward purchase agreements for
emission units, in line with policy limits.
The Electricity hedging policy focuses on the Group's net exposure to electricity
prices over a three-year period, with greater focus on the near-term period. The
Treasury policy requires that 50-90 per cent of oil sales are fixed for a period
of up to one year. The range decreases to a maximum of 50 per cent for sales
forecasted in two to three years' time. The Market Trading policy requires that
100 per cent of forecast import coal price exposure be hedged for a period of up
to one year. The range decreases to 50 per cent price exposure in the second
year and 25 per cent in the third year. The Carbon hedging policy focuses on
managing price risk using units on hand and forward purchase agreements to
cover price risk in the short to medium term.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk
because Genesis borrows funds at both
fixed and floating interest rates. Changes
in market interest rates expose the Group
to changes in:
• Future interest payments on
borrowings subject to floating interest
rates (cash flow risk);
• The fair value of borrowings subject to
fixed interest rates (fair value risk).
F3
The Group uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk in line with the
Group's Treasury policy. The Treasury policy requires that 50-100 per cent of
projected debt is fixed for a period of up to one year. The range decreases as the
age profile increases to a maximum of 20 per cent for debt due in 10 to 15 years.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency
risk as a result of capital and operational
transactions and borrowings denominated
in a currency other than the Group's
functional currency.
F4
Capital and operating transactions
The Group uses foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign exchange risk
on capital and operational transactions (including maintenance of capital
equipment, coal purchases and oil sales) in accordance with the Group's Treasury
policy and Market Trading policy. The Treasury policy requires that 50-90 per
cent of projected oil sales are fixed for a period of up to one year. The range
decreases as the age profile increases to a maximum of 50 per cent for projected
oil sales in two to three years' time. The Market Trading policy requires that 100
per cent of forecast import coal price exposure be hedged for a period of up
to one year. The range decreases to 50 per cent price exposure in the second
year and 25 per cent in the third year. All foreign currency exposures on capital
commitments are hedged, as well as operating commitments over $0.5 million.
Overseas borrowings
The Group uses CCIRS to manage foreign exchange risk on overseas borrowings.
All interest and principal repayments are hedged. The combination of the
foreign-denominated debt and CCIRS results in a net exposure to New Zealand
dollar floating interest rates and a fixed New Zealand dollar-denominated
principal repayment. The New Zealand dollar floating interest rate risk is
managed using the process described in the interest rate risk section above.
The Group uses the following derivatives to hedge its
financial risk exposures:
• Electricity swaps and options and electricity power purchase
agreements ('PPA');
• Oil price swaps;
• Coal price swaps;
• Forward purchase agreements for emission units;
• Foreign exchange contracts;
• CCIRS;
• Interest rate swaps.
A summary of the financial risks that impact the Group, how they arise and how they are managed is presented below:
F. Risk management (continued)
Other risks
Nature and exposure to the GroupNoteHow the risk is managed
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be
able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity
risk is to ensure that it will always have sufficient
funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both
normal and stressed conditions.
F7
The Group has a policy that requires the debt facilities to be maintained
with a minimum headroom amount above the projected peak debt levels
over the next 12 months. Liquidity risk is monitored by continuously
forecasting cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial
assets and liabilities.
The Group's ability to attract cost-effective funding is largely driven
by its credit standing (Standard & Poor's = BBB+). Prudent liquidity
risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable
securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of
committed credit facilities and the spreading of debt maturities.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will
default on its contractual obligations, resulting
in financial loss to the Group. The Group has no
significant concentrations of credit risk and the
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents,
receivables and derivative assets in the balance
sheet represent the Group's maximum exposure to
credit risk at balance date.
C1
Wholesale electricity sales
The Group purchases wholesale electricity for its retail customer base,
therefore the credit risk is limited to the net amount receivable after
deducting purchases. Market participants are required to provide letters
of credit to the market-clearing agent (NZX Limited), which would be
called upon should any market participant default.
Retail electricity sales, gas, LPG and oil sales
The Group minimises its exposure to credit risk by applying credit limits,
obtaining collateral where appropriate and applying credit-management
practices, such as monitoring the size and nature of exposures and
mitigating the risk deemed to be above acceptable levels. The credit risk
is mitigated by the Group's large customer base and the diverse range of
industries customers operate in.
BS,
F1
Cash and cash equivalents and derivative contracts
Credit risk is managed by using high-credit quality financial institutions
and other organisations. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings
of its counterparties are continuously monitored to ensure the risk is
spread among approved counterparties.

Derivatives
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the
contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured to fair
value. The gain or loss on remeasurement is recognised in the
income statement, unless the derivative is designated into an
effective hedge relationship as a hedging instrument, in which
case the timing of recognition in the income statement depends
on the nature of the designated hedge relationship. The Group
may designate derivatives as either:
Cash flow hedges where the derivative is used to manage the
variability in cash flows relating to recognised liabilities or highly
probable forecast transactions.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulate in the cash flow hedge reserve. The ineffective
portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is
recognised immediately in the income statement in the change
in fair value of financial instruments line.
Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are
reclassified to the income statement in the period when the
hedged item is recognised in the income statement. However,
when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the
recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory) or
liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in the cash flow
hedge reserve are reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve
and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset
or liability.
Once hedge accounting is discontinued the cumulative gain or
loss remains in the cash flow hedge reserve and is reclassified
to the income statement either when the transaction occurs or
if the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, it is
reclassified immediately.
Fair value hedges where the derivative is used to manage the
variability in the fair value of recognised assets and liabilities.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated
and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income
statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the
hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
Once hedge accounting is discontinued the fair value
adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising
from the hedged risk is amortised to the income statement from
that date through to maturity of the hedged item.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument
expires or is sold, terminated, exercised or no longer qualifies for
hedge accounting.
The Group’s policy is to designate derivatives in hedge
relationships on inception when their fair value is zero, applying
a hedge ratio of 1:1. The Group determines the existence of an
economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the
hedged item based on the amount and timing of their respective
cash flows, reference rates, pricing dates, maturities, and
notional amounts. The Group assesses whether the derivative
designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be, and
has been effective in, offsetting the changes in cash flows of the
hedged item.
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
This category includes derivatives that economically hedge
financial risks but have not been designated in hedge
relationships for accounting purposes. In these cases changes
in the fair value are recognised immediately in the income
statement within the change in fair value of financial instruments
line (refer to note F5).
Certain electricity derivatives, electricity future contracts and
PPAs cannot be hedge accounted under NZ IFRS 9. These are
principally swap and option contracts that provide dry year cover
for counterparties, electricity futures offered to the market to
enable other counterparties to hedge their electricity risks and
PPAs with renewable energy suppliers. The variable nature of
renewable energy makes it difficult to demonstrate that the PPA
is highly effective as required by NZ IFRS 9, despite the fact the
PPA is an effective economic hedge.
Forward purchase and forward sale agreements for emission
units are entered into for both 'own use' and 'held for trading'.
Agreements to purchase emission units for the Group's own use
are not recognised in the financial statements until the units
are delivered. Forward purchase and forward sale agreements
held for trading do not meet the 'own use' exemption and are
accounted for as derivatives. These contracts are measured at
fair value and any gain or loss on remeasurement is recognised
immediately in the income statement.
The effects of the Group's application of hedge accounting in
respect of derivatives used to manage financial risks are shown
in notes F2 to F5.

Electricity swaps
Oil price swaps
Electricity swaps are entered into to manage the variability
of cash flows from electricity purchases and sales. Oil and
coal price swaps are entered into to manage the variability of
cash flows from oil sales and coal purchases. Cash flow hedge
accounting is applied.
Realised gains and losses reclassified to the income statement
during the year on electricity swaps are recognised in electricity
revenue and realised gains and losses on oil price swaps are
recognised in oil revenue. Realised gains and losses on coal
price swaps are recognised in inventory where they are hedge
accounted and other gains and losses where hedge accounting
is not applied. Electricity revenue includes $25.7 million (2020:
$25.6 million) of option fees on electricity swaps and options.
The main source of ineffectiveness for electricity swaps relates
to the difference between the market price and the strike price
at inception of the contracts. For oil and coal price swaps
ineffectiveness arises due to discounts on oil sales and coal
purchases (the hedged item) that are not present in the hedging
instrument.
At balance date the net carrying value of non-hedge accounted
electricity swaps and options and PPAs was a $88.0 million
liability, electricity future options was a $2.1 million asset and
coal price swaps was a $6.6 million asset (2020: $13.0 million
asset, $3.5 million liability and nil respectively). The nominal
value at balance date of non-hedge accounted electricity swaps
and options and PPAs was $2,893.4 million and coal price swaps
was USD7.8 million (2020: $930.6 million and nil respectively).
At balance date there were no non-hedge accounted oil price
swaps (2020: none).

The Group enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge
highly probable forecast transactions denominated in foreign
currencies. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied. The amount
and maturity of the derivative and forecast transactions are
aligned to ensure the hedge relationship remains effective.
The Group uses CCIRS to manage foreign exchange risk on
the USPP. All interest and principal repayments are hedged.
The combination of the foreign-denominated debt and CCIRS
results in a net exposure to New Zealand dollar floating interest
rates and a fixed New Zealand dollar-denominated principal
repayment.
The principal, basis and margin components of the CCIRS
are designated as a cash flow hedge and the benchmark
component of the CCIRS is designated as a fair value hedge of
the USPP notes. The change in fair value relating to the foreign
currency basis spread component of the CCIRS is excluded
from the hedge relationship. The change is recognised in other
comprehensive income in a separate Cost of Hedging Reserve
(CoHR).
Realised gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts
reclassified to the income statement are recognised in operating
expenses and oil revenue. Realised gains and losses reclassified
to the income statement on CCIRS are recognised in finance
expenses.
F6. Sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk
The table below represents the effect on the income statement and the cash flow hedge reserve at balance date if various market

The following table details the Group's liquidity analysis for its financial liabilities and derivatives. Where the amount payable or
receivable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the internally generated forward price curves
existing at balance date. As the amounts included in the table are contractual undiscounted cash flows, these amounts will not
reconcile to the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet.

F8. Fair value measurement
Fair value hierarchy
Generation assets disclosed in note B1, emission units held for
trading disclosed in note C2 and derivatives disclosed in note
F1 are the only assets and liabilities carried at fair value in the
balance sheet. In addition to this, goodwill associated with the
retail LPG business is tested for impairment using fair value less
disposal costs (refer to note B3). While borrowings are initially
recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs, they are
subsequently measured at amortised cost in the balance sheet.
The fair value of borrowings is required to be disclosed (refer to
note E5). The nature of the inputs into the fair value calculation
determines the level applied in the fair value hierarchy. Each level
is outlined below:
Level one – the fair value is determined using unadjusted quoted
prices from an active market for identical assets and liabilities.
A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and
regularly available from an exchange, a dealer, a broker, an
industry group, a pricing service or a regulatory agency and
those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market
transactions on an arm's length basis.
Level two – the fair value is derived from inputs other than
quoted prices included within level one that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly
(i.e. derived from prices). Financial instruments in this level
include interest rate swaps, foreign exchange contracts, oil and
coal price swaps, CCIRS and electricity derivatives valued using
the ASX forward price curve.
Level three – the fair value is derived from inputs that are
not based on observable market data. Financial instruments
included in this level are electricity derivatives and PPAs valued
using the wholesale electricity price path.
The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair
value hierarchy levels at the date the change in circumstances
occurred. Refer to the reconciliation of level three electricity
swaps and options and PPAs table for transfers between levels.
All derivatives disclosed in F1 other than electricity swaps and
options and PPAs are considered level two. The $136.5 million
electricity swap and option and PPAs net liability comprises a
$7.4 million liability classified as level two and a $129.1 million
liability classified as level three (2020: $2.0 million liability and
$4.0 million asset respectively).
Valuation of level two derivatives
The fair values of level two derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow models. The key inputs in the valuation models
were:
ItemValuation input
Interest rate swapsForward interest rate price curve
Foreign exchange contractsForward foreign exchange rate curves
Oil price swapsForward oil price and foreign exchange rate curves
Electricity swaps and optionsASX forward price curve
CCIRSForward interest rate price curve and foreign exchange rate curves
Coal price swapsForward coal price curve
Valuation of level three derivatives
Valuation process
The team that carries out the valuations reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer. The results and key drivers of changes in the
valuations are reviewed at least six monthly for generation assets and monthly for derivatives. The Chief Financial Officer reports key
changes in fair value to the Board. Any changes to the valuation methodology are reported to the Audit and Risk Committee.

period from 1 July 2020 to 31 May 2041.
Impact of increase/decrease in price

A 10% increase would increase the liability by
$5.9 million. A 10% decrease would decrease
the liability by $6.2 million.
A 10% increase would increase the asset
by $39.3 million. A 10% decrease would
decrease the asset by $38.7 million.
Discount rate0.2% - 4.85%0.2% - 4.27%
Valuation of electricity swaps and options and PPAs
The valuation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The
key inputs and assumptions are: the callable volumes, strike
price and option fees outlined in the agreement, the wholesale
electricity price path ('price path'), 'day one' gains and losses
and the discount rate. The options are deemed to be called
when the price path is higher than the strike prices after taking
into account obligations relating to the specific terms of each
contract. No calling is required for the swaps and there are no
option fees. The price path is the significant unobservable input
in the valuation model. Refer to B1 for information in relation to
the method and judgements used to determine the price path.

Deferred ‘day one’ gains (losses)
There is a presumption that when derivative contracts are
entered into on an arm's length basis, and no payment is received
or paid on day one, the fair value at inception would be nil. The
contract price of non-exchange traded electricity derivative
contracts and PPAs are agreed on a bilateral basis, the pricing
for which may differ from the prevailing derived market price
for a variety of reasons. In these circumstances an adjustment
is made to bring the initial fair value of the contract to zero at
inception. The adjustment is called a 'day one' gain (loss) and is
deferred and amortised, based on expected volumes over the
term of the contract. The following table details the movements
and amounts of deferred 'day one' gains (losses) included in the
fair value of level three electricity swaps and options and PPAs:

G1. Share-based payments
The Group operates four share-based payment plans (Long Term
Incentive Plan ('LTI'), Performance Share Rights Plan ('PSR'),
Talent Retention Plan ('TRP') and Employee Share Scheme ('ESS'))
to enable staff to share in the ownership of Genesis.
The cost of the plans is recognised over the period in which the
performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The total
amount expensed is based on the Group’s best estimate of the
number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest, taking
into consideration the likelihood that service conditions will be
met, multiplied by the initial fair value of each share.

G2. Related party transactions
Majority shareholder and entities controlled by, and related to,
the majority shareholder
The majority shareholder of Genesis is the Crown. The
Group transacts with Crown-controlled and related entities
independently and on an arm's length basis for the following
goods and services: royalties, emission obligations, scientific
consultancy services, electricity transmission, postal services,
rail services and energy-related products (including electricity
derivatives). All transactions with Crown-controlled and related
entities are based on commercial terms and conditions and
relevant market drivers.
During the year the Crown received $92.1 million in dividends
(2020: $90.1 million) of which $83.2 million was paid in cash
(2020: $71.0 million) and $8.9 million was paid in shares (2020:
$19.1 million). The Group is also subject to the Emission Trading
Scheme (ETS) which requires the Group to acquire and surrender
emission units either directly to the Crown or to third parties
who ultimately remit the units to the Crown. Refer to note A3
and C3 for information on the amount expensed and payable in
relation to the ETS. There were no other individually significant
transactions with the Crown (2020: nil).
The Group has five significant electricity swap and option
contracts with Meridian Energy, a Crown-controlled entity. The
electricity swap and option contracts period and profile vary
between the range of 12.5MW and 150MW, from the period 1
January 2011 to 31 December 2025. In addition to these contracts
there are a small number of insignificant contracts with Crown-
controlled and related entities.
Approximately 10.3 per cent of the value of electricity derivative
assets and approximately 29.2 per cent of the value of electricity
derivative liabilities at year end are held with Crown-controlled
and related entities (2020: 16.6 per cent and 16.8 per cent
respectively). The contracts expire at various times; the latest
expiry date is December 2025.
LTI
Under the LTI plan senior executives purchase shares at market
value, funded by interest-free loans from Genesis. The shares are
held on trust by the Trustee until the end of the vesting period.
Dividends on the shares during the vesting period are deducted
from the loan balance. If the shares vest, each executive is
entitled to a cash amount which, after deduction for tax, is
equal to the outstanding loan balance on day one for the shares
that have vested. That cash amount must be applied towards
repayment of the loan balance and the corresponding shares and
dividends on the shares during the vesting period are released to
the executive.
Vesting of shares is dependent on continued employment
throughout the vesting period and achievement of certain
performance targets (a relative TSR hurdle compared against
industry peers and an absolute TSR hurdle compared against the
NZX and ASX).
If the performance targets are not met or if the executive ceases
to be employed by the Group other than for qualifying reasons,
no shares will vest and the shares will be forfeited to the Trustee
without compensation. The relevant executive will receive no
benefits under the plan unless the Board exercises its discretion
to allow some or all of the shares to vest.

G2. Related party transactions (continued)
PSR
The PSR plan commenced in the prior year. Under the PSR senior
executives are granted performance share rights. Vesting of the
rights is dependent on continued employment throughout the
vesting period and achievement of certain performance targets
(a relative TSR hurdle compared against industry peers and an
absolute TSR hurdle compared against the cost of equity). Each
performance share right that vests entitles the participant to
one ordinary share in Genesis for no consideration and 'dividend
equivalents' that would have been earned on the share over
the vesting period. No share rights will vest if the performance
targets are not met or if the participant ceases to be employed
by the Group other than for qualifying reasons, unless the Board
exercises its discretion to allow some or all of the shares to vest.

also participate in the LTI plan and PSR plan discussed on the
previous page and above. The total number of shares held by
key management personnel (excluding LTI shares) as at 30 June
2021 was 542,535 (2020: 439,252). During the year dividends
paid to key management personnel and their families was
$207,929 (2020: $238,663). No other transactions took place
between key management personnel and the Group (2020: nil).
As at 30 June 2021 the balance payable to key management

G3. Auditor's remuneration
Audit fees comprise $0.1 million for the review of the interim
financial statements, $0.5 million for the audit of the annual
financial statements (2020: $0.1 million and $0.5 million
respectively), and an additional $0.1 million charged in 2021 in
respect of the 2020 financial statement audit. In addition to the
audit Deloitte provided the following services during the year:
provision of non-assurance services for the Corporate Taxpayer
Group (of which Genesis is a member) and trustee reporting
(2020: provision of non-assurance services for the Corporate
Taxpayer Group (of which Genesis is a member), trustee
reporting and whistleblower hotline service). Total fees relating

G5. Contingent assets and liabilities
The Group had contingent assets and liabilities at 30 June 2021
in respect of:
Land claims, law suits and other claims
Genesis acquired interests in land and leases from Electricity
Corporation of New Zealand Limited ('ECNZ') on 1 April 1999.
These interests in land and leases may be subject to claims to the
Waitangi Tribunal and may be resumed by the Crown. Genesis
would expect to negotiate with the new Māori owners for
occupancy and usage rights of any sites resumed by the Crown.
Certain claims have been brought to, or are pending against,
ECNZ and the Crown under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975.
Some of these claims may affect land and leases purchased
from ECNZ. In the event that land is resumed by the Crown, the
resumption would be effected by the Crown under the Public
Works Act 1981 and compensation would be payable. The Board
cannot reasonably estimate the adverse effect (if any) of the
claims and cannot provide any assurance that should a claim be
raised it would not have a material adverse effect on the Group's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
There are no other known material contingent assets or liabilities
(2020: nil).
G6. Subsequent events
The following events occurred subsequent to balance date:
* On 30 July 2021 Genesis executed a conditional 20 year
electricity offtake agreement with Tilt Renewables in relation
to electricity that will be generated from the Kaiwaikawe Wind
Farm. The wind farm is expected to be completed by early 2024;
* On 11 August 2021 Genesis agreed key terms with Contact
Energy in relation to a new long-term power purchase agreement
for up to 62.5 MW of electricity generated from the Tauhara
geothermal field. The agreement will commence on 1 January
2025 and will run for 15 years;
* On 18 August 2021 the country commenced a nationwide
level 4 lockdown in response to COVID-19. The lockdown is
not expected to have a material impact on the business given
Genesis provides an essential service;
* On 25 August 2021 $91.8 million of dividends were declared
(refer to note E4);
* In August 2021 the Group restructured its revolving credit
facilities which increased the total available facilities by $30.0
million to $475.0 million.

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2021 / INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Independent auditor's report
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF GENESIS ENERGY LIMITED
TE PŪRONGO A TE KAITĀTARI KAUTE MOTUHAKE
Auditor-General
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Genesis Energy Limited
and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’). The Auditor-General has
appointed me, Bryce Henderson, using the staff and resources
of Deloitte Limited, to carry out the audit of the consolidated
financial statements of the Group on his behalf.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the
Group on pages 47 to 79, that comprise the consolidated balance
sheet as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated comprehensive
income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity
and consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended on that
date, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements that
include accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of the Group as at 30 June 2021, and its consolidated financial
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards and International
Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Auditor-
General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Professional
and Ethical Standards and the International Standards on
Auditing (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities
for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with
the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate
Professional and Ethical Standard 1: International Code of Ethics
for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence
Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In addition to the audit we have carried out assignments in the
areas of trustee reporting, scrutineer’s notice, non-assurance
services to the Corporate Taxpayer Group and review of the
interim report which are compatible with those independence
requirements. These services have not impaired our
independence as auditor of the Group.
In addition to these assignments, principals and employees
of our firm deal with the Group on normal terms within the
ordinary course of trading activities of the Group. Other than the
audit and these assignments and trading activities, we have no
relationship with, or interests in the Group.
Audit Materiality
We consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of
misstatement in the consolidated financial statements of the
Group, that in our judgement would make it probable that the
economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person
would be changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality).
In addition, we also assess whether other matters that come to
our attention during the audit would in our judgement change
or influence the decisions of such a person (the ‘qualitative’
materiality). We use materiality both in planning the scope of our
audit work and in evaluating the results of our work.
We determined the quantitative materiality for the consolidated
financial statements as a whole to be $10.5 million.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.
Key audit mattersHow our audit addressed the key audit matters and results
Valuation of Generation Assets
Generation assets are measured at fair value as set out in
note B1 of the consolidated financial statements. The carrying
amount at 30 June 2021 is $3,273.2 million.
The fair value of generation assets is estimated using an
internally generated discounted cash flow model.
The significant inputs used to assess the fair value of the
generation assets are the wholesale electricity price path,
generation volumes, and the discount rate. The wholesale
electricity price path is estimated by Genesis Energy as
described in note B1 of the consolidated financial statements
and reflects the impact of Covid-19 and the uncertainty
surrounding Tiwai Point smelter and the impact this could
have on future prices.
The valuation also reflects assumptions relating to changes in
demand in response to climate change.
The estimate of the wholesale electricity price path is the most
significant input in estimating the fair values determined for
the generation assets and affects the estimated generation
volumes which are also used in the fair value calculation.
Changes to the forecast of the wholesale electricity price
path could significantly change the estimated fair value of the
generation assets.
The treatment of the gain on revaluation estimated by Genesis
Energy is described in note B1 of the consolidated financial
statements.
We included the valuation of generation assets as a key audit
matter due to the level of judgement required in forecasting
the wholesale electricity price path.
Our audit procedures included assessing the key inputs to
the model used to estimate the fair value of the generation
assets. Our procedures, which included the use of our internal
valuation experts, were primarily focused on evaluating the
process undertaken by Genesis Energy in forecasting the
wholesale electricity price path and challenging whether the
forecast was consistent with internal and external data.
We assessed the professional competence of the Genesis
Energy valuers involved in the forecasting of the electricity
price path and valuation of the generation assets.
We also compared budgeted performance information from
prior periods to actual data to assess the accuracy of the
forecasting process.
We have evaluated Genesis Energy’s methodology in
constructing the forward electricity price path including the
aggregation of internal and independent third-party data.
We also evaluated the assumptions used in forecasting
the electricity price path to determine whether they were
consistent with assumptions used across the business,
including management budgets and valuations of other assets
including certain electricity derivatives.
We have also considered other key assumptions used within
the valuation, as described in note B1 of the consolidated
financial statements.
We performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions
applied in determining the fair value of the generation assets
and considered the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures.
We have found the assumptions and resulting valuation to be
reasonable.
Valuation of Electricity Derivatives
The Group’s activities expose it to a number of market risks,
including electricity, gas, oil and coal price risk, currency risk
and interest rate risk, which are managed using derivative
financial instruments.
At 30 June 2021 derivative assets were $480.6 million and
derivative liabilities were $579.9 million as set out in note F1 of
the consolidated financial statements.
Many of the Group’s derivatives are valued using standard
valuation techniques based primarily on observable inputs.
However, some electricity swaps, options and Power Purchase
Agreements are valued using inputs that are not based on
observable market data, such as the wholesale electricity price
path forecast which is prepared by Genesis Energy valuers.
As explained in the ‘Valuation of Generation Assets’ section
above, the wholesale electricity price path forecast requires
significant judgement.
Valuations which reflect significant unobservable inputs are
considered to be ‘level 3’ valuations as described in note F8
of the consolidated financial statements. At 30 June 2021, the
Group had $129.1 million of electricity derivatives considered
to be within level 3.
We included the valuation of level 3 electricity derivatives as a
key audit matter due to the judgement involved in evaluating
the inputs to the valuation models.
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key
controls related to the recording and valuation of the level 3
electricity derivative transactions.
We challenged key assumptions applied by management and
agreed underlying data to the contract terms on a sample
basis. We have independently recalculated the fair value of a
sample of electricity derivatives.
Our internal valuation experts have evaluated the
appropriateness of the methodology applied in valuation
models for the level 3 electricity derivatives.
We also performed audit work on the wholesale electricity
price path as explained above under the section entitled
‘Valuation of Generation Assets’.
We have found the assumptions and resulting valuations to be
reasonable.

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2021 / INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Bryce Henderson
Deloitte Limited
On behalf of the Auditor-General
Auckland, New Zealand
25 August 2021
Other Information
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for
the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual Report, but does not include
the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not
cover the other information and we do not express any form of
audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Directors’ responsibilities for the consolidated financial
statements
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards and International
Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as
the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors
are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative
but to do so.
The Directors’ responsibilities arise from the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the
Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of shareholders taken on the basis of
these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s
Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going
concern basis of accounting by the directors and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the consolidated financial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that we
have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships
and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we
determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Our responsibilities arise from the Public Audit Act 2001.
Corporate governance
2 The term ‘Officer’ is defined in the NZX Listing
Rules as a person, however designated, who

Executive remuneration
This following Remuneration Report for
the year ending 30 June 2021 sets out
remuneration information for the Chief
Executive and the Executive Team.
Genesis' remuneration strategy aims
to attract, motivate and retain talented
employees at all levels of the Company
and seeks to align the interests of its
shareholders and employees, whilst
driving performance and growth in
shareholder value and return.
Employee remuneration is also
discussed in the Company’s Corporate
Governance Statement which can be
viewed at www.genesisenergy.co.nz/
investors/governance/documents.
Genesis Energy follows the
New Zealand Shareholder Association’s
guide to assist all investors to
understand how remuneration is
aligned with value creation for its
shareholders. Genesis’ remuneration
policy for the Executive Team including
the Chief Executive is designed to have
them remunerated with competitive
salaries, a wide range of benefits
and use of performance incentives
to achieve outstanding performance
and alignment with our shareholders'
interests. The Human Resources and
Remuneration Committee regularly
reviews the Company's remuneration
policy. For the Executive Team the
policy provides the opportunity to
achieve, where performance has been
outstanding, a total remuneration
package in the upper quartile for
equivalent market matched roles.
Each year the Committee reviews
and approves the performance
and remuneration appraisals of the
Executive, with the Board approving the
Chief Executive’s remuneration.
Total remuneration for the Executive
Team is made up of three elements:
fixed remuneration, short-term
incentives and long-term incentives.
Fixed remuneration consists of base
salary and benefits and is targeted
to be in the third quartile of the
market. External benchmarking is
commissioned by the Human Resources
and Remuneration Committee to
be carried out independently by
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Short Term incentives (STI) are ‘a pay
for performance’ component designed
to motivate and reward performance
in a single financial year. The target
value of an STI is set annually as a
percentage of the Executive’s fixed
remuneration. For FY21 the target for
the Chief Executive was 50 per cent
and for other Executives was between
30 per cent and 50 per cent. The
performance measures to achieve
the STI are then set across Company
KPIs for EBITDAF, Customer, Safety &
Wellness, Sustainability, Regulatory,
Strategic objectives and individual KPIs.
Within each measure, there are three
performance levels, ‘threshold’, ‘on
target’ and ‘outstanding’. On appraisal
at the end of each year an Executive will
be awarded an STI payment for each
objective based on their performance
between a range of zero per cent for
below threshold performance, to 150
per cent for outstanding performance.
The Long Term incentives (LTI) are
also ‘a pay for performance’ component
designed to align rewards for the
Executive with shareholder value
over a three year period. Only the
Executive are eligible to participant in
the LTI. Genesis Energy’s LTI scheme
was reviewed and a new performance
share rights plan established in FY20
to ensure it continues to attract, retain
and motivate high calibre executive
members to drive outstanding
outcomes for our customers and
our shareholders.
Under the LTI plan, executives are
granted a number of share rights
determined by dividing the gross
value of the grant by the value of one
Genesis share at the date of the grant.
At vesting, subject to meeting the
performance hurdles set at the time
of grant, each share right is converted
to one ordinary share. LTI payments,
if achieved, are made in Genesis
shares rather than cash. The executive
may also receive additional shares
representing the value of dividends paid
over the vesting period. The executive
is liable for tax on any shares received.
Under the LTI plan, grants will continue
to be made annually with performance
measured over a three-year period.
The Board retains some discretion over
the final outcome.
In FY21 LTI grants were made to the
Executive Team and the value of the
grants were set at a percentage of fixed
remuneration between a range of
25 per cent to 60 per cent.

The total remuneration earned by, or paid to the CEO, Mr Marc England for FY20 & FY21 is as follows
The Base Salary is inclusive of holiday pay paid as per New Zealand legislation. Benefits include employer contributions towards KiwiSaver. The FY19 LTI grant,
which matured in FY21, met the absolute Total Shareholder Return (TSR) metric measured against the NZX and ASX performance, but did not meet the relative TSR
metric measured against the Peer group ending 30 June 2021 and achieved a 50 per cent vesting outcome.
* The FY21 LTI value above represents the gross LTI bonus earned on vesting of the FY19 grant. The net LTI bonus and a portion of the accumulated cash dividends
net of withholding tax of $34,542 were used to repay Marc England’s LTI loan balance, the remainder of the dividends were paid to Marc England in July 2021. The
dividends are earned subsequent to the initial grant and are excluded from the LTI amount above. Following repayment of his LTI loan balance, 76,427 ordinary
shares with a market value of $3.46 per share were transferred to Marc England on 23 July 2021.

Directors’ fees
Directors’ remuneration is in the form
of Directors’ fees for non-executive
Directors, approved by shareholders.
The Chairman receives a higher level
of fees to reflect the additional time
and responsibilities that this position
involves but does not receive any
fees for committee membership or
attendances.
Shareholders have also approved
remuneration for membership of the
various Board committees.
Table 1 sets out the shareholder-
approved Directors’ fees for the year
to 30 June 2021. These fees were
last approved by shareholders at the
Company’s 2016 Annual Shareholder
Meeting. Fees were approved on
a "per position" basis, and the fees
of individual Directors cannot be
increased out of the total
approved pool.
No Director is entitled to any
remuneration from the Company other
than by way of Directors’ fees and the
reimbursement of reasonable travelling,
accommodation and other expenses
incurred in performing their duties as
Directors.
Table 2 sets out the remuneration
paid to Directors during the year to
30 June 2021.
Director remuneration is also
discussed in the Company's Corporate
Governance Statement which can be
viewed at www.genesisenergy.co.nz/
investors/governance/documents.
Directors received no remuneration
or other benefits during the period in
relation to their duties as Directors of
a subsidiary.
Details of Directors of subsidiary
entities forming part of the Genesis
Energy Group are set out in the
Statutory Disclosures on page 90.
All Directors received the benefit of an
indemnity from Genesis and the benefit

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2021 / EY ASSURANCE ū SCOPE EMISSIONS
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
Independent Limited Assurance Statement to the
Management and Directors of Genesis Energy Limited
What our review covered
The subject matter and criteria covered by our assurance
procedures are detailed in the table below.
Subject Matter Criteria
Genesis’ total greenhouse gas
emissions inventory (including
scope 1, scope 2 and certain
scope 3 emissions from
business travel, office waste
and use of sold products) for
the year ended 30 June 2021,
disclosed in Genesis’ 2021
Annual Report.
Greenhouse Gas Protocol:
A Corporate Accounting
and Reporting Standard
New Zealand Ministry for
the Environment’s
guidance for voluntary
corporate greenhouse gas
reporting 2019
Reviewed GHG inventory
Total scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions (tCO

-e) 5,210,523
Key responsibilities
EY’s responsibility and independence
Our responsibility was to express a conclusion on Genesis’
voluntary GHG inventory disclosure for the year ended 30
June 2021 based on our review.
We have complied with the relevant ethical requirements
relating to assurance engagements, which include
independence and other requirements founded on
fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional
competence and due care, confidentiality, and professional
behaviour.
In accordance with the Professional and Ethical Standard 3
(Amended), Ernst & Young Limited maintains a
comprehensive system of quality control including
documented policies and procedures regarding compliance
with ethical requirements, professional standards and
applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Genesis’ responsibility
Genesis management (“management”) was responsible for
selecting the Criteria and preparing and fairly presenting the
GHG inventory for the year ended 30 June 2021 in
accordance with that Criteria. This responsibility includes
establishing and maintaining internal controls, adequate
records and making estimates that are reasonable in the
circumstances.
Our approach to conducting the engagement
We conducted this review in accordance with the
International Standard on Assurance Engagements ISAE
(NZ) 3000: Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or
Reviews of Historical Financial Information and ISAE (NZ)
3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas
Statements and the terms of reference for this engagement
as agreed with Genesis on 16 June 2021.
Summary of procedures performed
A limited assurance engagement consists of making
enquiries and applying analytical, appropriate testing, and
other evidence-gathering procedures.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
Conducting interviews with personnel to understand
the business and reporting process
Checking that the flow of information from site
metering or monitoring through to calculation
spreadsheets is accurate
Identifying and testing assumptions supporting the
calculations
Comparing year-on-year activities-based greenhouse
gas and energy data, where possible
Checking organisational and operational boundaries
to test completeness of greenhouse gas emissions
sources
Tests of calculation and aggregation
Checking that emissions factors and methodologies
have been correctly applied as per the criteria
Reviewing the appropriateness of the presentation of
disclosures.
We believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance
conclusions.
Limited Assurance
Procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement
vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for,
a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the
level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance
engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that
would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance
engagement been performed.
While we considered the effectiveness of management’s
internal controls when determining the nature and extent of
our procedures, our assurance engagement was not
designed to provide assurance on internal controls. Our
procedures did not include testing controls or performing
procedures relating to checking aggregation or calculation of
data within IT systems.
Use of our Assurance Statement
We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance
on this assurance report to any persons other than
Management and the Directors of Genesis or for any purpose
other than that for which it was prepared.

Assurance Conclusion
Ernst & Young (‘EY’, ‘we’) was engaged by Genesis Energy Limited (“Genesis”) to undertake limited assurance as defined by the
International Standards on Assurance engagements (New Zealand) 3000, over Genesis’ voluntary greenhouse gas emissions
inventory (“GHG inventory”) disclosures (including scope 1, scope 2 and certain scope 3 emissions from business travel, office waste
and use of sold products) for the year ended 30 June 2021. Based on our limited assurance procedures, nothing came to our attention
that caused us to believe that Genesis’ GHG inventory for the year ended 30 June 2021 disclosed in the Genesis 2021 Annual
Report, has not been prepared and presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the Criteria defined below.
