24 March 2023 – Mercury has confirmed that Dennis Barnes will leave the Board on 16 May 2023.
In January 2023, Mr Barnes was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Snowy Hydro Limited, a
Commonwealth Company and Government Business Enterprise in Australia. As a consequence, he announced his intention to
step down from Mercury’s Board.
“On behalf of the Board I’d like to thank Dennis for his contribution, in particular his inputs into Mercury’s generation
development programme and on health, safety, and wellbeing matters. We have enjoyed working together,” said Prue Flacks,
Board Chair.
