Generating Growth
Multiple major projects were undertaken in FY24 to lift production from existing
assets, as Genesis responded to plant outages and invested for plant reliability.
Huntly Unit 5 Outage
•Unit 5 tripped due to the failure of the Generation Circuit Breaker (GCB). A rebuild
of the damaged phase was completed and Unit 5 became operational 26 Jan
2024, four months earlier than expected.
•Replacement parts were sourced through Hitachi and the phase was rebuilt. Key
components were replaced on all phases of the GCB. A complete spare GCB was
purchased and delivered in June 2024.
•The insurance process has concluded, resulting in net insurance recovery to
Genesis of $29.4m.
Huntly Unit 3 Repurposing
•A replacement of the Huntly Unit 2 intermediate pressure turbine was completed
in July 2024. The retired Unit 3 turbine was removed and installed into Unit 2.
•The transfer will increase resilience to the reserve Rankine Unit, for times of
market stress.
Waikaremoana Power Scheme
•Final Tuaigenerator replacement completed a three-year generator replacement
project and improving efficiency by 1.7%.

Carbon Emissions and Sustainability
Carbon emissions
•Greenhouse gas emissions significantly increased in FY24, with
total emissions 59% higher than in FY23. This was driven by the
Unit 5 outages, gas market conditions and lower hydro inflows.
•Genesis’ FY25 Science Based Targets are at risk, due to market
conditions driving additional thermal generation.
•Genesis remains committed to net zero 2040 and will submit our
targets to the SBTi for validation in FY25.

FY24 Gross Margin
Electricity
•Lower hydro inflows, resulting in 1,003 GWh less renewable generation and increased
thermal generation requirements.
•Increased coal use due to the U5 outage and constrained gas availability led to
portfolio generation costs of $63/MWh, an increase of $28/MWh vs pcp.
•Continued retail growth, with average prices up to $252/MWh and moderate volume
growth.
•Settlements from derivative contracts were lower, driven by increased costs in
delivering the Ecotricityhedge.
Kupe
•Gas production down to 7
PJ (17%) due to planned
outages and declining field
production.
•Decrease in FY24 oil
shipments partly due to
phasing of deliveries.
Gas
•Genesis continued to focus
on higher value retail
channels and reduced
wholesale gas market sales.

delivering strategic objectives.
2.Digital Projects represent projects across the business and are allocated to appropriate segments in note A1 in the
consolidated financial statements.
•Gen35 strategy initiated a reprioritisation of
operating expenditure with changes
implemented to focus investment in strategically
aligned areas.
•Wholesale was prioritised including building of
asset development team and investment to
support renewables development.
•Investment into Digital Projects in FY24 was
$8m lower due to accounting treatment of SaaS
costs.
•Cost pressures from increased staff costs
ahead of FTE reductions drove higher Retail
costs. The impact of the organisational
changes will be reflected in FY25 and beyond.
•In FY25 further investment will be made in
Wholesale to accelerate delivery of key projects
such as BESS and solar development.

•Genesis had made a final investment decision on Stage 1 of the Huntly Battery
Energy Storage System (BESS) development programme. Genesis will partner
will Saft for delivery of Stage 1 and is using a multi-contract structure for
delivery.
•The Huntly BESS utilises existing land, infrastructure and connection enabling
Genesis to deliver this project at an investment cost of approximately $150
million. Genesis has available land for up to 400 MW of batteries.
•Revenue from the battery will be derived from energy arbitrage, reserves and
benefits to the Genesis portfolio. It is estimated that annual EBITDAF from
stage one will be between $20m and $30m.
•Due to lower construction costs, existing land and benefits to the Genesis
portfolio, the projects is estimated to provide an IRR of 9% to 10%.
•The Genesis BESS portfolio will enable the development of future wholesale
market hedging products.

for the Huntly Power Station. We estimate approximately 10,500 Ha is required to produce
600 GWh of electricity.
-We remain on track for a 20kT scaled burn of domestically produced biomass in 2025.
-Genesis is investigating white pellet supply as a blended fuel option for additional fuel
flexibility in FY25. We estimate the Rankine units could operate at up to 10% on white
pellets.
-Pricing for domestically sourced biomass remains competitive with imported coal. Further
updates on domestic biomass supply will be provided in H1 FY25.

As decarbonisation continues to shape
the future of electricity, accelerated
demand for renewable energy will
require ongoing investment. We have a
unique role to play in not only growing
the supply of renewable energy but also
in helping our customers electrify how
they live, work, and move around.

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024
Genesis has a unique role to play in New Zealand’s transition to
a low carbon future. We’re supporting our customers to transition to
electricity, investing in new renewable generation to meet increasing
demand, and evolving our portfolio to monetise our back-up of wind,
solar and hydro generation when the wind doesn’t blow, the sun
doesn’t shine and hydro lakes are low.
With this responsibility comes the need to be
transparent – about our opportunities, targets,
strategy and progress, and also about our
challenges, the impacts we have and how we’re
addressing those. This report strives to present
a balanced view of how we create value over
the short, medium and long term. Our Value
Creation Model (VCM) on page 8 provides
a plan-on-a-page overview.
To ensure rigour in this form of reporting,
we have used guidelines from the Global
Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Integrated
Reporting Framework (<IR>) to report on our
material environmental, social and governance
activities. This is in addition to reporting on
our climate-related risks and opportunities
using the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate
Standards. Genesis Energy Limited is a
Climate Reporting Entity under the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013. Our FY24 Climate
Statement is here.
In FY24 we launched our Gen35 strategy
(see page 6). This report is structured
around the strategy’s three areas of impact
– People, Profit and Planet.

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024
Genesis is an energy generator and retailer supplying electricity,
natural gas and LPG to more than 496,000 customers.
The geographic spread and diverse range of
generation assets enables us to back up solar,
wind and hydro generation across hours,
days and months. Our share in the Kupe gas
field provides essential electricity security
to underpin the growth of solar and wind
generation. We make surplus gas available to
third parties such as homes and businesses.
Our Gen35 strategy will see us deploy
more than $1 billion to build new renewable
generation, develop the Huntly Portfolio to
provide 1,400 MW of flexible generation
capacity to back up solar, wind and hydro
generation, and partner with our customers
to empower their energy transition.

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024OUR PROGRESSPEOPLEPROFITFINANCIALSSUSTAINABILITYGOVERNANCEPLANETINTRODUCTION
The context for our Gen35
strategy, launched in November
2023, comes from the Zero
Carbon 2050 Act, New Zealand’s
commitment to decarbonise
our economy over time.
Achieving New Zealand’s 2050
climate target will require
electricity to make up at least
60 percent of total energy use,
provided by 95 percent
renewable electricity, with
electricity available to meet
demand 100% of the time.
We will continue to play a significant role
supporting the country’s transition to a
low-emissions economy. Under our Gen35
strategy we aim to transition our generation
fleet to 95 per cent renewable by FY35 and
have committed to a science-based net zero
2040 target
1
. Gen35 details our goals across
the business for the next 10 years, providing
a roadmap for how we will turn strategic value
into financial value for shareholders.
To achieve this, we will invest around $1.1 billion
in new renewables and grid-scale batteries
by FY30, including by directing free cash
flows from our partial ownership of the
Kupe gas field.
Gen35 has three main pillars: empowering
the customer-led transition to electrification;
renewable generation growth; and transitioning
our thermal generation portfolio to provide
greater flexibility. Huntly Power Station
will evolve to become the Huntly Portfolio,
New Zealand’s grid-scale peaking and firming
facility to back up new renewable generation
to be built over coming decades.
We will activate Gen35 across three horizons:
Horizon 1 (FY24) Future Fit; Horizon 2 (FY25-
28) Accelerating our Transition; and Horizon 3
(FY29-FY35) Future State. Horizon 1, which we
completed this year, focused on the things we
could do to impact earnings and shareholder
value right now; Horizon 2 will focus on
things we need to do to lift growth and build
shareholder value in a lower-carbon future;
and Horizon 3 will see us create optionality to
maximise the opportunity of our future state.
Our strategy is driven by our purpose –
Powering a sustainable and thriving Aotearoa
– and underpinned by our values: Kia Manaaki
– We Care; Kia Māia – We’re Courageous; and
Kia Kotahi - We’re Connected.
The following chapters outline how we have
impacted our People, Profit and the Planet in
FY24 as we put Gen35 in motion.
Gen35 – our strategy for growth through the transition
95%
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Under our Gen35 strategy we aim
to transition our generation fleet
to 95 per cent renewable by FY35.
1. A commitment to reduce our GHG emissions by >90 percent
from a FY20 base year by 2040. This commitment is based
on the Science Based Targets Initiative’s Corporate Net zero
guidance, which provides companies a clearly-defined path to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with limiting global
warming to 1.5°C.

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024OUR PROGRESSPEOPLEPROFITFINANCIALSSUSTAINABILITYGOVERNANCEPLANETINTRODUCTION
For New Zealand to reach net zero by 2050
60% of New Zealand’s energy needs to come
from electricity, up from around 38% today,
at least 95% of that electricity needs to be
renewable, up from around 80% today, and
it will need to be practically available 100%
of the time. This includes winter peaks, dry
years and periods of low wind. The challenging
elements of the 60-95-100 scenario will be
electrifying New Zealand and maintaining
100% energy security.
Gen35’s three pillars map our growth to
support each of the 60-95-100 outcomes –
growing earnings by supporting our customers
to transition toward electrification; partnering
to deploy capital to grow our renewable
generation to 95%; and investing over time to
build the Huntly Portfolio – a grid scale, flexible,
firming and peaking collection of assets
and fuels to back up solar, wind and hydro
generation from a minute to a month.
During the year we moved through Horizon 1
of the strategy, undertaking a substantial
restructure to get the business future fit.
We moved into six business units, reduced the
executive from nine to seven, and strengthened
our senior leadership team. We began the
process of simplifying our retail business to
Letter from the Chair and Chief Executive
FY24 was a watershed year for Genesis. We launched our
Gen35 strategy, which will balance earnings growth across the
next four years with longer term objectives through the energy
transition. We also navigated the national gas shortage and an
exceptional dry year while continuing to meet our obligations to
our customers, all of whom remained on fixed priced contracts
through winter.

generation opportunities, including grid scale
battery as a service, and new solar and wind
generation. We’re also investing in monetising
flexibility through the Huntly Portfolio’s support
of grid security as New Zealand gains more
solar and wind generation alongside existing
hydro schemes.
Key to monetising flexibility will be our long-
term development plan for flexible assets,
fuels and trading products such as Huntly
Firming Options (HFOs). HFOs give renewable
generators the ability to manage their share of
grid security risk as more intermittent solar and
wind generation is built, providing generators,
retailers and major energy users the option
to notionally secure additional generation
over the counter for fixed periods of time.
In June 2024 we released HFOs to the market.
The issue was over-subscribed with 270 MW
being bid and 85 MW purchased for the
calendar years of 2025 and 2026. While current
HFOs are backed by Rankines using coal, over
time more asset and fuel flexibility will emerge.
We indicated at Investor Day in November 2023
that we would take the 2024 calendar year
to explore an economic and sustainable local
supply chain of biomass for the Rankine units.
Good progress has been made with multiple
supply options in play. Biomass will allow
Huntly to produce competitive, low carbon
electricity through the Rankines for at least the
next decade to back up future offers of HFOs.
The national gas shortage pushed spot gas
prices to between $30-$50 GJ, up from under
$10 GJ a year ago. Coal became cheaper than
spot gas as a fuel to generate electricity. We
will therefore be importing coal for some years
until there is a solution to increase the supply of
natural gas or import liquid natural gas (LNG).
We expect our carbon emissions to reflect the
need to burn more coal to ensure electricity
supply is reliable and stable.
Financial performance
Our financial performance in FY24 had
three significant impacts. First was the loss
of Unit 5, our 400 MW combined cycle gas
turbine at Huntly Power Station, for seven
months following a fault that had not been
experienced by this type of turbine anywhere
else in the world.
Much of the direct impact was insurable.
However, the indirect impact was not. We had
to run Rankines for longer, burn more coal than
we planned, and delay some of our planned
outages on our hydro generation.
The second major impact of the year was the
declining gas supply nationally, down 29% in
the year to June. For us this was exemplified
by the disappointing result of the KS-9 well
intervention in the Kupe gas field. Beach
Energy, the operator in the Kupe joint venture,
proved there is gas in the reservoir, but its work
to date has been unable to produce sufficient
flow to sustain the well’s operation. Further
interventions may be considered in due course.
The third impact was low hydrology. In normal
dry years the country has been able to rely on
gas generation to back up the grid, however
the national gas shortage left around 450 MW
of New Zealand’s generation idle due to lack
of fuel. This made the New Zealand Aluminium
Smelter’s offer to be New Zealand’s dry year
battery significant.
Our team responded well to these challenges
to minimise their financial effect and ensure
there was no impact on our customers. The
challenges have however created a drag on
short term financial outcomes.
For the next two years, how we manage
our portfolio will be key to the financial
performance of the business while we execute
key strategic development initiatives that will
underpin our earnings growth target of around
mid $500m’s by FY28.
We’ve created the FY28 Scorecard to provide
transparency in tracking our execution of these
key strategic initiatives, bearing in mind there
will be fluctuations over the next few years.
We’ll update progress against the scorecard
every half year (see page 15).
Capital and dividend
Gen35 is focused on cost control, new value-
accretive technology and deploying capital
to drive earnings growth. At Investor Day we
outlined a $1.1 billion capital programme with
a target of maintaining a credit rating debt/
EBITDAF ratio in a multiple range of between
two and three (noting this is a credit rating
metric and not a debt covenant metric).
The change in the gas market means we will
now be at the upper end of our credit rating
range while we deploy capital, moving back
towards the mid-point as earnings growth
from these initiatives beds in. We indicated
at Investor Day that we could build earnings
using Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs),
partnered capital at asset level with PPAs,
and use our own capital on balance sheet.
Reflecting on Genesis’ transition from primarily
a yield stock to a growth stock with solid
returns, the Board reset the dividend to around
14 cps and maintained a dividend reinvestment
programme. The Board has indicated its desire
to maintain this level across Horizon 2 of Gen35
(FY25-28). Annual decisions on this will be
balanced with the Horizon 2 focus of investing
in building new renewable generation to grow
earnings.
a lower-cost, lighter touch operating model.
This included starting to deploy productivity-
enhancing technology like AI.
Hand in hand with the restructure came the
launch of our people’s refreshed purpose,
mission and values. The language chosen
was drawn from the words of employees
during an extensive research project we
undertook in FY23, capturing feedback from
more than 1,000 employees through surveys,
interviews and focus groups.
A FY24 survey conducted after our major
restructure delivered an overall team
engagement score of 81%, with most of
our people agreeing their work gave them
a feeling of personal accomplishment and
that they would recommend Genesis as
a great place to work.
A focus on safety and wellness is key to
this result. This year we continued to see a
significant reduction in injury severity, with
the total number of lost and restricted days
due to injury reduced by 42% compared
to FY23. Our ongoing LPG Delivery Injury
Reduction Programme maintained its
momentum, with a 31% reduction in the
LPG injury rate since the programme
launched in FY22.
Through the changes of Horizon 1 we
also maintained our high customer
satisfaction rating.
The belief in our business among our customers
and our people gives us great confidence as
we move into Horizon 2: growing earnings by
accelerating Genesis’s transition over the next
four years. This will include partnering with
our customers to develop demand side options
for flexibility and distributed activity to put the
power of energy management into their hands.
We’re developing a pipeline of new renewable

Who
lesale gathers momentum
The national gas
shortage has made the
o
bjectives of our Gen35 strategy even more
important as we grow earnings from the
transition of our business.
FY24 saw a number of projects in our wholesale
business gather momentum as we invested in
expanding our renewables devel
opment team.
Construction be
gan at Lauriston solar farm
in Canterbury, the first in our 500 MW joint
venture with FRV Australia. The 63 MWp site is
due to be gene
rating by December 2024.
In May 2024 we announced 10-year Energy
Supply Partnership with Spark which will
supply electricity to Spark purchased from the
national grid,
notionally linked to volumes
generated by Lauriston solar farm. Genesis will
su
pply Renewable Energy Certificates to Spark
for the Lauriston generation volumes. This
partnership reflects Spark’s long term
commitment to
support the growth in
renewables for New Zealand.
As the financial year drew to a close we were
reaching a final investment decision on the
first stage of our battery storage system to be
installed at H
untly Power Station. The 100 MW
battery, able to store 200 MWh, is the first of
a series that will total 400 MW (800 MWh),
and marks an important step in transitioning
the site to the Huntly Portfolio in line with our
Gen35 strategy.
We have also secured a consented site ready
for the construction of another solar farm near
Edgecumbe in th
e Bay of Plenty.
Digital transformation
Our digital transformation programme consists
of three key upgrade projects for our billing
and CRM platform, our finance management
platform, and our wholesale trading toolkit.
Our progress in FY24 saw us select Gentrack as
our partner for billing and Salesforce for CRM
solutions. We completed the design phase and
are approximately halfway through build. We’re
looking forward to starting migration of Frank
customers to the new platform in FY25.
The finance and wholesale and trading
programmes will follow the billing and
CRM upgrade.
Focus on emissions
FY24 saw an increase in emissions of 1,204,995
tonnes of CO₂e compared to FY23 due to the
need to burn more coal as a result of the Unit 5
outage, low hydro levels and gas shortage.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions in FY24 were however
9% lower than FY20, the base year for our
FY25 science-based targets. This equates to
a reduction of 247,524 tonnes of CO₂e. Our
Scope 3 emissions from use of sold products
were 60% lower than FY20, equating to a
reduction of 822,138 tonnes of CO₂e.
These results show that our emissions
reduction journey will not be a straight line but
a trend over time.
Looking ahead
Delivering the strategic objectives of Gen35 will
see us achieve a science-based net zero 2040
target. In FY25 we will apply for verification
of this target from the Science Based Targets
initiative, and continue our work to support
New Zealand toward its goal net zero 2050.
We thank the Board, Executive, our senior
leaders and all our people for their efforts
during the year. The business is now future fit
and ready to launch into Horizon 2 of Gen35,
delivering our FY28 objectives as we play our
part in New Zealand’s energy transition.

Retail simplification
As we move to focus on value over volume
under Gen35, our retail pillar has started a
journey towards more simplified, lower cost
model, while focusing on new value pools
in demand side flexibility and EV’s. Our new
approach will result in a reduction of around
200 FTE’s across FY24 and FY25. We thank
our people for their professionalism in working
through this difficult process with us.
We ensured the restructure of our retail
team did not affect our relationship with our
customers, and it was pleasing to see brand
love among Genesis customers hit a new
high of 67% in January 2024, and Frank win
the Consumer People’s Choice Award for the
second year in a row.
We acknowledge cost of living pressures have
made life difficult for many of our customers
over the past year, and we continue to support
energy wellbeing through our Manaaki Kenehi
customer care team and our sponsorship of
curtain banks throughout the country to help
families in need have warmer, healthier homes.
This year also saw the completion of a two-year
research project with community groups to
look at how energy retailers could better play
a role in supporting customers who are hard
to reach, or hidden, but still in considerable
hardship. Community agencies offered a
number of potential solutions, many which
will need to be collaborative. These have been
prioritised and several initiatives are underway.

Working together to build
te ao Māori capability
The inclusion of Te Reo Māori kupu (words)
in our purpose and values is a signal of our
intent to authentically incorporate a te ao
Māori journey at Genesis. The kupu were
provided by a group of our Māori employees,
with additional guidance from te ao Māori
Consultants, Te Tari.
Our executive team is completing the
Te Kahikatea Programme with Mather
Solutions (a strategic Māori Development
consultancy). This is an important step in
our Genesis te ao Māori capability build
that will continue in FY25.
EMBRACING THE MEANING
BEHIND WAITANGI DAY
In acknowledgement of Waitangi Day 2024,
we hosted a lunch and learn session where our
people learned the history and significance of
Waitangi Day and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Te Wehi
Wright, Te Tiriti o Waitangi advocate, facilitated
the session which focused on differences
between the Treaty of Waitangi texts, and
answered our team members’ questions.
We have taken some important steps towards a
company-wide strategy including establishing
a new Pouhere Māori (General Manager, Māori)
role that will support existing and new Māori
relationships to drive collective value.
Diversity, equity
and inclusion
In December 2023 our Board of Directors
endorsed our refreshed diversity, equity and
inclusion (DEI) strategy, focus areas and targets.
These will build on earlier achievements such
as gaining the Gender Tick, Rainbow Tick and
launching a Mind the Gap programme including
reporting of gender representation (40% male,
40% female, 20% any gender identity) and pay
gap measures.
We partnered with consultancy, Diversitas,
in a co-design process with our employees
to ensure our refreshed DEI strategy had
our people at its heart. The opportunity we
found through this process was to refine our
Genesis-wide targets in line with our priority
areas (gender balance, ethnic representation
at leadership level, and belonging) while also
tailoring our approach in different regions and
business units by creating site-specific plans
that reflect the respective team’s needs and
to achieve the greatest impact.
We are working to refresh our Inclusion
Council and employee networks with
organisation-wide representation to
support governance and monitoring.
Pleasingly, given our focus on leveraging the
diversity of thought our people bring to achieve
the best commercial outcomes for Genesis,
we found that 85% of our people responded
favourably to the Hearing from Genesis

Safety and wellness
This year we made excellent progress
toward our safety and wellness objectives.
We continued to see a significant reduction
in injury severity, with the total number of lost
and restricted days due to injury reduced by
42% compared to FY23.
Our Genesis Wellbeing Programme continued its
success with widespread use of the My Everyday
Wellbeing portal and high levels of engagement
and mental health awareness at our nationwide
Gumboot Toss event - in partnership with I Am
Hope, Gumboot Friday. We updated our intranet
site to provide easy access to tools and services
to support mental health. The resources include
six new videos, and we facilitated three Ask Me

We are working toward reaching ISO 45001,
an international standard for workplace health
and safety systems. In FY24, the business case
was approved and we began a pre-audit. A
desktop review was conducted, with a detailed
assessment scheduled in November 2024.
We also began deep dives into each of our
‘Dangerous Dozen’ critical risks. Three have
been completed - working from height,
inability to respond, and exposure to hazardous
substances. More deep dives will be completed
in FY25, with plans to enhance our critical risk
reporting, provide our people with targeted
‘need-to-know’ guidance and simplified
assurance practices.
We completed a review of our health
monitoring processes and awarded the
health services contract to Habit Health.
The transition of services will be completed
in FY25.
Our ongoing LPG Injury Reduction

focus on ‘safety over delivery’ has helped
achieve this outstanding result and we plan to
continue improving safety for our LPG team.
Leadership development
In FY24 we launched a new LinkedIn Learning
pilot, so Genesis leaders have access to
learning at any time. We also piloted a
New Leaders programme that is designed
to equip new people leaders with the skills
they need to succeed.

As part of transitioning to the
new model, we worked together
to deliver:
Creating a simplified retail model
The retail pillar of our Gen35 strategy is to
empower the customer-led transition. But first
we had to reshape our retail business to be
future fit. We needed a simpler retail model
that focused on fewer and more impactful
things. In October 2023 we announced
our retail review was likely to result in the
loss of around 200 roles. This was a tough
decision and not one that was taken lightly.
We undertook a large-scale consultation with
more than 700 retail staff. We learned that most
participants supported the rationale and case
for change. They told us it was “long overdue”,
and many were positive about working in a
less complex retail organisation. They also had
concerns: how would we handle the workload
with a simplified model? People wanted
clarity around the future ways of working,
accountabilities, alignment between teams
and prioritisation of work.
Consultation
We consulted more than 700 employees
across retail and received over 228
feedback responses. We then ran online
sessions to keep everyone informed of
progress and next steps.
Workshops
These gave our retail team members
tools to support them as they navigated
the transition, including CV and
interview preparation.
Wellbeing
We worked to support employees’ total
wellbeing, including running drop-in
sessions to address concerns.
Support
We contacted other organisations to find
roles that might suit those leaving us,
provided support for career transitions
and advice for potential new directions.
Extensive work took place to answer
everyone’s questions and provide support
for the people whose jobs were affected by
the change. This included support through
the transition for those who remained in their
roles, and comprehensive career support for
those whose jobs were lost.
We spent three months transitioning to
the new retail structure, which took effect
in April 2024. Some change will continue
in FY25.

increasing over time. The brand connects
with our audience’s values, the positioning
is appealing, and the offering is clear.
Adorable redheaded George and her family –
human and canine – continue to win Genesis
a place in New Zealanders’ hearts. George’s
stories provide evidence for multiple proof
points, including our School-gen programme
and support of warm, healthy homes. The
campaign has maintained Genesis’ presence
in the top 10 most-liked TV ads throughout
the year, according to the Research Agency.

FRANK
Genesis has successfully built a trusted
customer brand with Frank Energy. Frank has
become New Zealand’s fastest growing energy
brand by quite some distance, significantly
increasing market share, and is currently the
country’s largest tier two energy retailer. It
is a low cost, light touch retail model, well
positioned for the future of electricity retailing.
Key to creating value from this model is
ongoing simplification of Frank’s processes,
customer experience and product range. This
helps reduce customer churn, which in FY24
dropped to a record low of 16%, well below
that of its competitors. This helped Frank win
the prestigious Consumer NZ People’s Choice
Award for the second year running.
This year Frank started using conversational
AI to help its customers, which led to 63%
increase in customers self-solving issues online
without needing to engage callcentre support
(up from 42% in FY23). Betty, the Frank chatbot,
completed 30% of all digital sign-ups.
Frank won silver and bronze awards at the
NZ Axis Awards for advertising creativity
and was a finalist in both the NZ Marketing
Effectiveness Awards and the TVNZ
Marketing Awards in 2023.
Matching a no-frills and straight-up customer
proposition with highly competitive prices
and a new retail operating model has enabled
Frank to succeed in tough economic conditions
during the past year, while increasing the
brand’s contribution to Genesis’ retail
business performance.
Frank will bring even greater value to Genesis
in the years ahead as Frank continues to
simplify its model, product range and
operating costs while maintaining high
customer satisfaction levels.

POWER SHOUT SUCCESS
Our Power Shout loyalty scheme, which
gives customers free hours of power to use at
their discretion, has had its most successful
year to date. During FY24 more than 120,000
customers accepted a seasonal campaign offer,
representing 40% of the eligible customer base.
A new green icon helped customers choose
a low carbon time to book their Power Shout.
We partnered with Trees That Count so we
could plant a native tree for every 10 green
bookings – starting with 10,000 trees to get
the ball rolling.
300,000
Hours of energy
donated to households in need, from
144,890 hours donated by customers,
topped up to 300,000 by Genesis
Power Shout also gives customers the
option once a year to donate their free
hours of power to households in need.
This year 42% of customers contacted
chose to donate their hours, equating to
28,978 households. The donated hours
totalled 144,890, which we topped up
to 300,000 hours of energy. In June 2024
we distributed these hours to more than
4,000 households that needed support
to pay their winter power bills.
At the inaugural Asia Pacific Loyalty
Awards, Power Shout won Best Overall
Loyalty Programme in the telco, utilities,
energy and service station category. Power
Shout Gifting was also a finalist for Best
Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative
and Best Loyalty Programme Marketing
Campaign.
We launched our partnership with Trees That Count with a donation of 10,000 trees.

Privacy
Privacy is fundamentally about people, and
that has driven many of our achievements in
the past year. We’ve set up processes that
allow us to monitor how we use personal
information in our ways of working, ensuring
we are transparent in our collection and use of
personal information.
Technological advancement has highlighted
the need to ensure we are ready for the
challenges and opportunities of the digital
age. We’ve issued guidance on artificial
intelligence to respond to the influence
that tools like AI present.
As we implement our Gen35 strategy,
we will continue to map our maturity
against the ISO 27701 to monitor our
capability but most importantly to
guarantee our data is fit for purpose.
Complaints
Last year we redesigned our training
programmes to enable more confident and
empathetic conversations with our customers.
We continue investing in our staff and
enhancing customer experience by using data
and customer feedback to make improvements.
In FY24 Genesis customer complaints fell 21%
from 1,269 to 1,002. Frank customer complaints
dropped 3% from 410 to 399.
TOP 5 REASONS FOR FORMAL
COMPLAINTS IN THE PAST YEAR:
•
LPG delivery issues
•
Price changes, pricing plans and tariffs
•
High bills due to high consumption
•
Customer service, incorrect actions
taken or incorrect information given
•
Estimates, communications faults and
access issues leading to estimated bills
HOW WE’RE RESPONDING
Our teams made a number of changes to
address customer concerns, including:
•
Customers who used our automated phone
system to order LPG bottles often weren’t
sure their order had been received. They
were worried, so they would call us to
confirm the order was placed – a step they
shouldn’t need to take. We introduced a text
alert for customers who ordered LPG via our
phone ordering system. The text confirmed
their order was successful, so they now had
confidence their LPG was on its way.
•
We made several improvements to
our automated fixed-term contract
communications this year. These make rates
clearer, show what is current and what will
be offered, and generally remove billing
confusion for customers.
Positive customer feedback
From a customer experience perspective, this
has been an outstanding year for Genesis.
Our interaction Net Promoter Score, or iNPS,
measures customers willingness to recommend
Genesis based on an interaction with a member
of our team or through one of our digital
channels. Our FY24 iNPS, which takes into
account scores from across the year, increased

Supporting energy wellbeing
Energy wellbeing is a key component
of our Sustainability Framework. We
are working towards a future where
all New Zealanders have access to
energy. Everyone has the right to live
in a warm, healthy house, and be able
to affordably heat their home during
even the coldest winters.
REFINING OUR APPROACH
TO HIDDEN HARDSHIP
Genesis and Mercury are each focused on
changing how we support our respective
customers in “hidden” hardship following a
two-year research project with community
groups. The research looked at how energy
retailers could better play a role in supporting
customers who are hard to reach, or ‘hidden’,
but still in considerable hardship.
A pivotal early insight was that community
groups often have relationships with these
whānau, highlighting the importance of
supporting community groups to break
down barriers and help households access
the support they need.
“These insights were grouped into themes
of building trust, giving community a voice,
industry knowing when to ‘stay in their lane’
and support community groups to do the work
they do, and developing mana-enhancing
practices,” said Dr Sea Rotmann, Sustainable
Energy Advice CEO, who led the research.
“These themes provide a simple guide for
industry to focus its attention.”
Community agencies offered 70 potential ways
to address hardship, many of which will need
to be collaborative. These have been prioritised
and several initiatives are underway.
Stephen England-Hall, Genesis Chief Retail
Officer, said: “Energy retailers have dramatically
improved their approach to supporting
customers experiencing hardship in recent
years, but we recognise there remains a lot of
work to do. We’re tremendously grateful to
the community groups who were so generous
with their time and insights. The work doesn’t
stop here. We will now seek to understand the
most impactful way to translate the lessons we
learned into action.”
Examples of Genesis initiatives
underway include:
•
Te Tira Manaaki o Kenehi, the Genesis
caring team, which aims to provide
early intervention support to vulnerable
customers and assistance for households
to better manage their energy use.
•
A trial that empowered community agencies
to offer up to 100 free hours of power to
existing Genesis customers who needed
support.
•
Support for curtain banks and warm home
interventions through community partners
Habitat for Humanity Northern, Sustainability
Trust, and Community Energy Action.
WARMER KIWI HOMES CAMPAIGN
RAISES $116,611
Energy wellbeing is important to us, leading
to partnerships with curtain banks since 2010.
Sustainability Trust in Wellington, Community
Energy Action in Canterbury, and Habitat for
Humanity Northern in Northland and Auckland
provide curtains, warm-home products and
offer home assessments to help households
in need become warmer and healthier.
This year we ran a fundraising campaign for
the curtain banks, undertaking to donate up
to $100,000 between 28 April and 27 June
2024 to match public donations. The campaign
raised $116,611 for our community partners.
That’s enough to fit around 2,159 homes with
good quality curtains that will help families stay
warmer and healthier.
Conrad LaPointe, Habitat Northern CEO, said:
“This partnership with Genesis ensures we can
support those most in need across Tai Tokerau
and Tāmaki Makaurau, including Waiheke and
Aotea Islands.
We know we’re making a
measurable difference for our
whānau, with every dollar
donated returning $6.30 of
social return on investment.
The majority of this, 68%,
impacts health.

CONNECTME TRIAL
We participated in a 12-month trial with members of the
Electricity Retailers Association of New Zealand (ERANZ).
The trial, called ConnectMe, involved signing up 103
customers who would normally be rejected from sign up
due to poor credit ratings. We tested the hypothesis that
just because you have a poor credit rating, it doesn’t mean
you will be a poor paying customer.
At the end of the trial, of Genesis customers:
We conducted credit checks on 63 customers who
remained for the duration of the trial, both before and after
their participation. Of those, 44% had an improvement in
their credit score. Data shows where we have partnerships
with other agencies and wrap-around support for these
customers there is a better chance of success.
Debt is a normal part of life, and we want to remove
the stigma and encourage people to deal with it
without embarrassment, by supporting them with
debt management and credit rehabilitation.
We’ve also removed third-party contingency collection
fees that we historically added to a customer’s arrears
during the debt collection process. This can make a
significant difference in a customer’s credit score and
how quickly the debt can be repaid.

MANAAKI KENEHI AND FRESH START
Te Tira Manaaki o Kenehi, Genesis Caring
Team, continued its vital work this year as
the cost of living made bill payment difficult
for some customers. The team uses data
analytics to help identify customers who
may be experiencing early signs of financial
hardship. Team members proactively contact
these customers to offer personalised support
including payment plans, ensuring they are on
the right price plan, deferring disconnections
and referring customers to other agencies,
including Money Talks, WINZ and EnergyMate.
Each situation is different, so we take a ‘one
customer at a time’ approach to provide
bespoke support solutions.

Ngā Ara Creating Pathways
Since FY21 Genesis has run the Ngā Ara
Creating Pathways programme designed
to attract, nurture, and engage rangatahi
in science, technology, engineering and
maths (STEM) education, study and career
pathways. Genesis supports adding a second
M to STEMM, recognising mātauranga Māori
as a rich knowledge system, strengthened
by kaupapa and tikanga Māori.
Our communities
We partner with secondary schools closest
to our generation schemes to offer initiatives
including apprenticeships, internships, work
experience, scholarships, and partnership
programmes.
Ngā Ara is a key initiative within our community
investment portfolio, and an integral part of our
operations and strategic workforce planning.
It is also reflective of our Genesis values, kia
kotahi (we’re connected); kia manaaki (we care);
and kia māia (we’re courageous).
Ngā Ara has partnered with 11 schools
and contributed more than $522,000 in
partnerships with like-minded community
organisations, including Puhoro STEMM
Academy, Oho Mauri, and POU Limited, a
marae-owned entity in Raahui Pookeka Huntly.
We have six Ngā Ara apprentices working at
Huntly Power Station and Tongariro Power
Scheme, including two through our contracting
partnership with POU Limited.
Three of our first Ngā Ara apprentices, Jasmine
Lowe, Manukura Heta and Joel Watkins,
completed their training and became qualified
tradespeople in April 2024. In FY25, three
more of our apprentices will become qualified
tradespeople, and we will recruit a cohort of
new apprentices.
The Ngā Ara scaffolding training pathway was
a collaboration between Genesis, Oho Mauri
and POU Limited. Together, we developed an
entry-level scaffolding training programme.
Six rangatahi from Oho Mauri, all aged 16 and
previously considered ‘NEET’ (not in education,
employment or training) were employed full-
time for 13 weeks at Huntly Power Station. The
students received hands-on work experience
and dedicated pastoral support from on-site
mentors and Oho Mauri. At the end of the
programme, five of the rangatahi had earned
a Level 3 Pre-Trade Certificate in Construction
and were supported into their next career
steps, including Kauri Papanui-Enoka who
is now employed full-time as a scaffolding
apprentice at the station.
Each year, up to 15 Ngā Ara work experience
opportunities are available across our four
power schemes for rangatahi from our
partner schools.
We also have a handful of Ngā Ara intern
opportunities every summer for tertiary
students. These are hugely influential
experiences for young people as they explore
their career pathways and how a role in Genesis
or the energy sector might align with their
aspirations, interests and values. Many of our
Ngā Ara interns have continued into permanent
roles, including current team members Hinera
Parker, community engagement coordinator
see page 32, Adrienne Penewi, graduate
generation communications engineer, Jaelin
Andersen, customer operations administrator,
Rajiei Chopra, customer operations
administrator, and Allan Liang, graduate
mechanical engineer.
For the last four years, Genesis has partnered
with Pūhoro STEMM Academy, which supports
tauira Māori (Māori students) to thrive in
STEMM. Genesis sponsor their Te Urunga Tū

Addressing concerns of the
Waikaremoana community
Cyclone Gabrielle had devastating
consequences for many in the community
near our Waikaremoana Power Scheme.
While our team members worked tirelessly
to keep power flowing to Wairoa, Tairāwhiti
and Hawkes Bay, there was a misconception
by some that our management of the scheme
had caused flooding in Wairoa township,
and that lake levels had been kept too high
for too long, causing damage to vegetation
and structures around the lake edge.
An independent review of the floods
by Strome Advisory
1
found that Genesis’
actions were appropriate and in line
with our resource consent requirements,
and that both the flooding and high lake
levels were due to extreme and consistent
inflows of water – much of which entered
the catchment downstream of the
power scheme.
We addressed community concerns
through direct discussions with community
members and organisations, and at our
annual community meeting in Tuai, and by
provision of information to the Hawkes Bay
and Wairoa independent flood reviews, the
media, and via our website. In March 2024
we took Mayor Craig Brown and local media
on a tour of the scheme to show them how
it operated and answer their questions.
We acknowledge the ongoing impacts of
Cyclone Gabrielle – our team are members of
the community too – and remain available to
respond to questions about our management
of the power scheme during this event or on
any other occasions.

Solar power for Tuai school
This year we contributed $105,000 to a
solar and battery storage installation at
Te Kura o Waikaremoana at Tuai, close to our
Waikaremoana Power Scheme. The set-up
can generate 20,000 kWh of electricity a year,
enough to power nearly three households.
Principal Mihinoa Maruera said the school
could redirect money saved on power bills by
the system into other resources.
When the sun’s not shining a battery storage
system will enable the school to keep using
the clean, free energy. When the solar panels
generate more electricity than the school
needs, the school can sell it into the national
grid. The solar power system is already being
used as a resource to teach students how solar
power is generated and stored.

School-gen boosts
STEM resources
The School-gen Trust had a hugely successful
final year of operation helping develop
students’ skills in STEM (science, technology,
engineering and maths). It gifted $292,000
in STEM equipment to 39 schools and two
charitable organisations. This was the highest
number of recipient schools since the Trust
was established in 2019.
Since its launch, the Trust has given more than
$710,000 worth of STEM and solar equipment
to 132 schools around New Zealand. The STEM
equipment provides students with hands-on
experience in coding, robotics, design and
engineering to develop critical thinking and
problem-solving skills.
However, under our new Gen35 strategy,
it was decided we should focus resources
on our School-gen and Ngā Ara Pathways
programmes to maximise their impact.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees unanimously
agreed to wind up the Trust. We thank all our
customers who have supported the Trust with
donations over the years to help change the
way many young Kiwis interact with and use
STEM equipment in classrooms.
School-gen will continue. This programme
provides free, energy-related STEM teaching
resources to help prepare Kiwi kids for jobs
of the future.
As part of our partnership with Nanogirl
Labs, we developed and launched a series
of free energy-themed Professional Learning
Development (PLD) resources for teachers
to build their confidence in delivering STEM
in the classroom.
Students also benefited from our new
partnership with House of Science, which
offers science-themed kits to primary and
intermediate schools around the country.
Genesis sponsored 20 ‘Hot Stuff’ kits, a
bilingual resource (English and te reo Māori)
that teaches children about all types of energy.
So far, 612 teachers have used Hot Stuff kits.
An independent report by ImpactLab on the
House of Science programme found that every
dollar invested delivered $10.20 of measurable
good (social return on investment). Based on
this metric, the $50,000 Genesis donated has
had $510,000 worth of social impact.

Gen35 – turning strategic
value into financial value
A key objective of Gen35 is to drive earnings
growth. We are focused on transitioning to
biomass and battery storage, used to provide
back-up electricity at peak times as we
generate more power from solar and wind.
In FY24 we fulfilled our Horizon 1 ambitions
by improving efficiency in our retail and
technology business units, enabling us to
focus on doing fewer things better in helping
our customers electrify. We are progressing
with our renewables programme with solar
and biomass, and starting the transition of
Huntly Power Station into the Huntly Portfolio
with a business case for the first stage of our
battery installation.
With Gen35 in place, we are positioning
Genesis as a more attractive long-term
proposition for investors, offering growth
opportunities and reliable dividend returns.
In the base case plan, earnings (EBITDAF)
are expected to be around $460 million in
FY25 and targeting mid $550 millions by
FY28. In FY24 the Board updated dividend
policy to direct free cash flow
1
from Kupe
to renewables development.
Gen35 focuses on three key value pools: Growing
greater value from our customers, investing around
$1.1 billion in new renewable generation by FY30, and
setting a clear future for Huntly Power Station as the
Huntly Portfolio, New Zealand’s grid scale peaking and
firming facility for new renewable generation that will
be built over coming decades.
We are focused
on transitioning to
biomass and battery,
used to provide
back-up electricity
at peak times as we
generate more power
from solar and wind.

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024INTRODUCTIONOUR PROGRESSPEOPLEFINANCIALSSUSTAINABILITYGOVERNANCEPLANETPROFIT
FY24 marked the start of Huntly Power Station’s transition to
The Huntly Portfolio, a collection of technologies and fuels
including batteries, flexible gas and biomass as core fuels,
with coal as a fuel of last resort. We created a new position
of General Manager Fuels in our senior leadership team to take
a more strategic approach to our fuels portfolio, supply chains
and our transition to new low carbon fuels in the future.
A solid fuel stockpile for security
As the country increases its intermittent
renewable generation from wind and solar
farms, at certain times supply will not match
demand, particularly if hydro lakes are low.
Thermal generation needs to swing in and out
of operation in an unpredictable way, driven by
fluctuating wind and sunshine, and be available
for months at a time during dry winters.
Genesis will maintain an operational solid
fuel stockpile of 350,000 tonnes to keep the
lights on for our customers through the ‘yo-yo’
effects of the energy transition. Currently that
solid fuel is coal, however we see this being
displaced by biomass over coming years.
We assessed our stockpile would fall below
350,000 tonnes by the end of winter 2024,
which triggered the order of more coal
deliveries. The decline was driven by
challenging conditions in a period of gas
market uncertainty and declining hydro
storage during the third quarter of FY24. We
also had to use more coal during the Unit 5
outage from June 2023 to January 2024.
New Zealand’s gas production has declined
faster than forecast across the market, while
gas demand has not. Transpower and some
solar and wind generators have called for more
fast-start gas peaking plant to be built to ensure
energy security for homes and businesses in
a highly renewable grid. For that to happen
new gas supply and greater flexibility will
be needed. This will take time.
Although gas has half the emissions of
coal, tight gas markets may push electricity
generation back to needing some coal to back
up intermittent renewable generation, major
generation plant outages and growing winter
peaks as electrification increases throughout
the economy. However, we will increase our
operational stockpile of 350,000 tonnes only
if we receive third party contract support or
if market settings support more storage.
As a drop-in replacement for coal, biomass
will form part of our stockpile management
strategy as a biomass supply chain is
established. We look forward to gradually
transitioning our coal stockpile at Huntly Power
Station to biomass between FY25 and FY30.

Huntly Firming Options
Huntly Power Station was built to provide back-
up energy supply when the renewable system
is unable to deliver, providing the market with
security of supply and price stability. Since
2014 around 57% of its thermal generation
has been contracted to third parties to supply
their customers.
Gen35 indicated we would develop new
products to give market participants the
opportunity to manage their supply risks.
The first of these products, Huntly Firming
Options (HFOs) give generators, retailers and
major energy users the option to notionally
secure backup electricity supply from the
Rankine units at Huntly Power Station with
a stable and transparent pricing mechanism.
HFOs were released to the market in June
2024. Bids were received totalling 270 MW,
significantly exceeding the volume available.
Following negotiations 85 MW were secured
by multiple parties to cover calendar years
2025 and 2026.
The strong interest in HFOs provided a clear
indication of the value the market puts on the
firming and flexibility offered by Huntly Power
Station and its ability to provide both energy
and capacity security to meet market demands
and system security.
While the HFOs are backed by coal as the fuel
source, we are working hard on biomass as an
alternative fuel for our Rankine units and as the
fuel source in future iterations of this product.
Unit 5 returned to service
In June 2023 the powerful Unit 5 combined
cycle gas turbine at Huntly Power Station
experienced an unexpected outage when the
unit’s main circuit breaker failed. The 403 MW
unit can power up to 400,000 households, so
its loss was a blow to our generation capacity.
The fault had not been seen by the
manufacturer anywhere else in the world,
and specialist parts had to be obtained from
overseas to complete the repair. We worked
closely with the equipment supplier to source
parts quickly, and the team worked tirelessly
to get Unit 5 up and running again, four months
earlier than originally anticipated. It came back
online in January 2024.
Unit 5’s unplanned outage caused a number
of portfolio impacts that negatively impacted
FY24 EBITDAF and were outside our
insurance claim.
Genesis made all three Rankine units at
Huntly Power Station available for generation
following Unit 5’s outage, redirecting gas that
would have been used by Unit 5 to power the
Rankines. This included Unit 2, a reserve unit
which in June 2024 was proactively taken
offline for unplanned maintenance.
We needed to use our hydro schemes more
than planned over summer, rescheduling
planned outages, which meant they were
not fully back online ahead of winter.
New Zealand’s declining gas supply meant
the impact of Unit 5’s early return to service
was limited.
4 months
UNIT 5 RETURNED TO SERVICE
FOUR MONTHS EARLIER THAN
ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED
Although this resulted in higher generation
costs and less generation to sell to third
parties, it highlighted our portfolio’s
resilience. We could absorb Unit 5’s unplanned
outage, the disappointing result of the KS-9
well development at the Kupe gas field (see
page 43), delayed planned outages and Unit 2’s
unplanned outage and still generate enough
to meet our customers’ needs.
The unit’s early return was testament to our
team’s expertise and determination. Their
efforts averted what could have been a far
greater financial impact.

Biomass – supporting a new local supply chain
There remain some challenges to overcome,
such as establishing cost-effective access to
forestry residue. But the potential economic
benefits are as clear as those for the
environment. The 2022 report The Future
is Electric by the Boston Consulting Group
forecast that energy supplied by biomass
and other renewable fuels would increase
from 9% in 2022 to 23% by 2050.
Genesis is committed to biomass as a fuel
to replace coal at Huntly Power Station if we
can establish a supply chain that is carbon
reducing, cost-effective and convenient to
procure. Biomass is a key part of our Gen35
strategy which targets our generation to
become 95% renewable by FY35, and commits
us to a science-based net zero 2040 target.
This in turn will support New Zealand to
become net zero by 2050.
We expect to have
access to local biomass
production within FY25,
steadily scaling up from
there. The goal is to
secure enough supply
to provide 100% of
the fuel for the Huntly
Rankines by FY30.
100%
BIOMASS AS FUEL FOR THE
HUNTLY RANKINES BY FY30
Our successful trial burn of biomass
in a Huntly Rankine in 2023 was the
first time the sustainable fuel was used
in New Zealand in a large quantity to
generate electricity. We had to import
the quantity used in the trial due to
the absence of suitable black pellets in
New Zealand, but since then we have
worked to support the development
of a domestic supply chain.
We are in advanced discussions with
providers in East Cape, Northland and Central
North Island, and making good progress on
establishing a sustainable and financially
viable supply chain. We have collaboration
agreements in place with potential suppliers
and hope to move to formal agreements as
soon as possible. We expect to have access to
local biomass production within FY25, steadily
scaling up from there. Our goal is for biomass
to make up 100% of our operating solid fuel
stockpile of around 350,000 tonnes by FY30,
with coal moving to become a fuel of last resort.

OUR FIRST GRID-SCALE BATTERY
Huntly Power Station will soon be
home to our first grid scale battery
energy storage system (BESS),
helping make New Zealand’s
energy supply more reliable.
Installation of the first stage –
a 100 MW battery – will begin in
FY25. Able to store 200 MWh,
the BESS could provide enough
electricity to meet the average
demand of around 115,000 homes
for two hours.
Building the first grid-scale
battery at Huntly is an important
step in transitioning the site to
the Huntly Portfolio in line with
our Gen35 strategy.
Our plan is to install 400 MW of
batteries at Huntly over the next
few years, capable of storing
800 MWh.

Construction begins at Lauriston solar farm
In April 2024 construction began on the
$104 million Lauriston solar farm in Canterbury,
the first project in our solar joint venture with
FRV Australia, and the first project in our
planned $1.1b investment in new renewables
by FY30. We expect Lauriston to be generating
electricity by the end of 2024 – at that time
it will be New Zealand’s largest solar farm.
Set on a 93-hectare property about an hour
south of Christchurch, Lauriston will hold about
90,000 solar panels and will generate enough
energy to power around 13,000 homes. It is
expected to create more than 50 jobs during
the construction phase and employ up to three
full-time staff when operational.
Joining our Chief Executive Malcolm Johns at
a sod-turning ceremony in April 2024 was the
CEO of FRV Australia Carlo Frigerio, Ashburton
Mayor Neil Brown, the Chief Executive of EA
Networks Onno Mulder, the General Manager
of construction partner Beon, Kieren Lewis,
and landowner Bernard Daley.
We continue to assess several North Island
development sites as well as a range of solar
development acquisition opportunities as
part of a growing pipeline of development
options as we move to around 95% renewable
generation by FY35.
The joint venture has a target development of
500 MW of solar capacity, which is expected
to generate about 750 GWh a year – enough
to power 100,000 households or 185,000 EVs
a year.

Spark Energy Supply
Partnership
In May 2024 we announced a new partnership
with Spark that supports the development
of new renewable energy capacity and
the delivery of Spark’s Toitū Sustainability
commitments.
The 10-year Energy Supply Partnership will
supply electricity to Spark purchased from
the national grid, notionally linked to the
volumes generated by Lauriston solar farm.
The notional consumption of Lauriston
generation will account for about 60% of
Spark’s annual electricity requirements, with
the remaining 40% also be supplied by Genesis
from the national grid, as occurs today.
Genesis will supply Renewable Energy
Certificates (RECs)

to Spark for the Lauriston
generation volumes, helping make a significant
contribution towards Spark achieving its
Science Based Target of a 56% reduction
in scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY30 (from a
FY20 baseline).
The kind of long-term commitment shown
by Spark supports the development of new
renewable generation.
The agreement will start on 1 January 2025.

Waikaremoana
This year we completed a seven-year project
upgrading all three generators at our Tuai
generation site, with the last of three new
generators installed and switched on. Tuai is
a historic generation site - two of the original
generators dated back to 1929, and the third
to 1939.
The new generators were shipped from Spain,
each weighing about 24 tonnes. The upgrade
had a total cost of about $35m and will
potentially boost Tuai’s capacity by 6 MW
1
–
enough to power an extra 1,000 homes.
Tuai is one of three power stations in Genesis’
Waikaremoana Power Scheme, transferring
water from Lake Waikaremoana through
Kaitawa (36 MW), Tuai (60 MW) and
Piripaua (42 MW) power stations.
We completed an overhaul of Piripaua’s
two generators in FY23. These were first
commissioned in 1943 and last overhauled
in 1995. The work increased their efficiency,
or the amount of power they produce from
the same amount of water, by 3.3%, enough
to power 436 households a year.
Last in line is Kaitawa, with full replacement
of its two generators due to begin in FY25.
Tongariro
RANGIPO POWER STATION
REFURBISHMENTS
Rangipo Power Station, located 63m
underground near Turangi, had significant
project work from January to June 2024.
We completed refurbishing one of the two
turbines, generator and intake gate with
replacement work happening on the governor
and transformer bushings. Similar work will
occur in FY25 on the remaining unit. This work
will ensure the station continues to deliver a
high level of reliability through to the mid-
2030’s where it will undergo its next major
refurbishment and replacement cycle.
LAKE ROTOAIRA WEED
HARVESTING VESSEL
Genesis has partnered with the Lake Rotoaira
Trust to buy a specialised boat for harvesting
aquatic weed. The invasive species grow
through summer and cause issues at boat
ramps, recreational areas and the intake to
the Tokaanu Power Station. The harvesting
vessel is used to remove aquatic weed from
the lake before it becomes a problem. Genesis
is privileged to be able to work alongside the
Trust to create positive outcomes for both Lake
Rotoaira and Tokaanu Power Station.
Our extensive programme of capital works, based on a strategic
asset management plan, aims to extend the life and increase the
efficiency of our existing generation plant. As well as building new
renewable generation in the form of wind and solar farms, we also
need to extend the life of our existing hydro stations, making them
even more productive and efficient in the process. These upgrades
will future-proof the stations so they’ll continue to produce reliable
renewable electricity for New Zealand as the country decarbonises
over the coming decades.
1. Due to station constraints the full impact of the efficiency gain
is only achievable when the station is operating below the
maximum output of 60 MW.

Tekapo
Following three years of significant works from
FY19 to FY22, including a new intake gate at
Lake Tekapo and further upgrades during FY23,
FY24 was a quieter year for this hydro scheme.
A 33 kV upgrade project is underway with
circuit breakers and switch gear being installed
at the headgate substation next to Tekapo B
power station. This project will be completed
in FY25 with new circuit breakers and switch
gear to be installed at the main substation and
at the Pukaki substation, making the switch
yards more automated, reliable and safer.
During the year we completed installation of
a new safety boom in front of the Tekapo A
intake. The new boom and buoys are larger
and yellow in colour, making them more visible
to passing boaties.
Transpower has also started the upgrade of
its indoor switch gear and are constructing a
fit-for-purpose building adjacent to its switch
yard at Tekapo A. This will remove the hazards
associated with the old type of switch gear
and upgrade it to a modern safe design out
of the powerhouse.
Huntly Power Station
After completing a cold survey of Unit 4
Rankine in FY23, Unit 1 underwent a more
targeted outage in FY24. This outage focused
primarily on obtaining statutory recertification
and ensuring on-going boiler reliability. The
outage took 85 days consisting of 11,365
internal working hours, involving 16 different
contracting companies at 12,846 hours, and
cost $3.4 million.
Following the failure of Unit 5’s main circuit
breaker in June 2023, a significant amount of
work was carried out to minimise the impact
of the outage. The Unit was returned to service
in January 2024, four months earlier than
expected. We were able to work closely with
the equipment supplier to source and expedite
delivery of parts, enabling us to return Unit 5
to service ahead of the drier summer months.
Genesis made all three 250 MW Rankine units
available during this outage, redirecting gas
that Unit 5 would have burned to the dual-fuel
units. The Unit 5 Distributed Control System
(DCS) and Static Frequency Control (SFC) were
also upgraded during this outage.
Using predictive analytics
Across each of our generation sites we
continued to use advanced predictive analytics
for forecasting and early fault detection,
helping manage operational constraints and
reducing the likelihood of forced outages.
Examples include refreshing how we forecast
the Waikato river temperature downstream of
Huntly Power Station, allowing us to be more
confident within our operational consent limits,
and a recent case of fault detection where an
abnormal vibration was detected on Unit 4 at
Tokaanu Power Station. Testing identified an
issue we were able to fix before serious damage
to the machine could occur.
There are challenges presented by the tight
energy market that depend on generation
units always running smoothly, as well as the
ongoing challenges of ageing assets and a tight
contractor market. These challenges underline
the importance of our generation life-extension
programme and efficiency initiatives for the
provision of reliable and cost-effective energy.

Enhanced safety measures led to a reduction
in kilometres driven, yet we are on track to
maintain or slightly increase the volume of
LPG deliveries, showing our efficiency and
commitment to safety without compromising
service. Our fleet of EV trucks remained
the same size as in FY23, continuing our
commitment to sustainability. We replaced
11 ageing trucks, modernising our delivery
infrastructure, aligning with our operational
requirements and reinforcing our commitment
to efficient and reliable service.
LPG update
Our LPG business had a stable year in FY24 with reduced
driver turnover and successful recruitment for vacant roles.
The filling heads at our Hornby depot in
Christchurch were upgraded to pneumatic
technology, vastly reducing manual handling,
and this safety feature will be rolled out
through other depots.
We bolstered our engineering resources
to provide extra support, recruiting new
maintenance lead and asset management
roles, enhancing our team's capabilities and
readiness for operational challenges.
We continue to upskill our delivery team
in areas such as risk management and
handling difficult conversations with
customers. Collaboration between our
drivers and customer service representatives
(CSRs) was strengthened through ride-alongs,
where CSRs spent a day with LPG drivers. This
initiative gave CSRs a deeper understanding
of the delivery process, and enhanced their
ability to have more informed and effective
conversations with customers.
A pilot of the ERoad driver reporting system
was undertaken at the Hamilton and
Feilding depots, marking a step forward in
technology adoption. The system offers safety
enhancements and had positive feedback
from drivers and managers. We will look to
roll it out to other depots in FY25.
The well intervention campaign at Kupe KS-9
concluded in May 2024, with work unable to
produce sufficient flow to sustain operation
of the well due to the reservoir pressure level
and liquid inflows. As a result, maximum gas
production is 47TJ/day. Further interventions
may be considered in due course.
Gas production across New Zealand continues
to decline faster than expected. This reinforces
the importance of Gen35, and Genesis remains
focused on its long-term strategy. All of our
share of Kupe’s free cash flows will still be
directed to new renewables. What has changed
is the amount from Kupe may be less than
first anticipated. We are open to exploring
more power purchase agreements (PPAs) and
joint ventures with PPAs, in addition to direct
investment to deliver our renewables pipeline.
The dividend policy remains unchanged.

Technology
Digital transformation
Our digital transformation programme consists of three key upgrade
projects for our billing and customer relationship management
(CRM) platform, and our wholesale trading toolkit.
Cyber and data security
Keeping our customers’ data and technology
systems safe remains a priority for Genesis,
which means we must constantly evolve our
approach to cybersecurity.
We are now three years into our maturity
journey, and continue to invest in information
and cyber security capabilities and controls,
aligning to the ISO 27001 Information Security
Management standard. The Genesis team
engaged effectively with our cybersecurity
education and training initiatives – and our
strong culture of reporting suspicious activity
shows that it’s working.
This year we have also expanded security
monitoring and visibility across the Genesis
landscape, improved our assets and
services to a defined Genesis standard
based on the Centre for Internet Security
benchmarks, and put in place a significantly
matured risk management framework and
overarching risk governance.
As we align our environment to a
higher security specification, gaps have
been identified in third-party abilities
to maintain the same level of secure
communication methods. Driving third
parties to adopt modern practices and
mandating a minimum standard is leading
to positive responses.
In FY25, our focus will be on maturing
our processes to align with the ISO 27001
compliance standard.
Our new billing and CRM platform will enable
us to streamline our retail operations to
provide improved customer and employee
experience from a cost-effective base, and
explore interesting adjacencies over the coming
years. Our finance programme will modernise
our technology and provide the bedrock to
support our finance operations. The wholesale
and trading programme will allow us to better
model and forecast scenarios, and trade into
the market even more effectively than we
do today.
Our progress in FY24 saw us select Gentrack as
our partner for billing and Salesforce for CRM
solutions. We completed the design phase and
are about halfway through the build. We’re
looking forward to starting migration of Frank
customers to the new platform in FY25.
The finance and wholesale and trading
programmes are following behind the billing
and CRM upgrade. At the end of FY24 we were
going through a procurement process to select
the technology. We expect to make a final
investment decision later in the 2024 calendar
year and then move into the build phase.

AI trial with Microsoft Copilot
This year Genesis trialled Microsoft
Copilot Pro – one of just five organisations
in New Zealand to take part, and one of
only a handful worldwide.
Microsoft Copilot Pro is an AI assistant that
combines an organisation’s data with ChatGPT
to provide real-time intelligent assistance,
working alongside Word, Excel, PowerPoint
and other Microsoft 365 apps.
We started by trialling Copilot with just 30
staff, to flush out any challenges or ethical
risks. By the end of FY24 the trial had expanded
to about 300 employees. Internal research
found that 70% of people in the trial were
saving at least an hour a week thanks to
Copilot, while some individuals were saving
as much as five hours every week.
We’ve been using Copilot to transcribe and
summarise meetings, removing the need
for note-taking, review drafts, set the right
tone for communications, summarise long
email chains, and run a diversity audit on
our website’s content and imagery.
Focus on costs
Inflation continued to impact our costs
across the business in FY24, and expenditure
was required to get the business ‘future
fit’ under Horizon 1 of our Gen35 strategy.
This included one-off costs on our digital
transformation programme see page 44, which
will set platforms for the business to deliver on
our Gen35 objectives.
We began reducing employee costs in retail
through reshaping the business unit into a
simplified model, while lifting costs in the
wholesale business unit as we added quality
resources to our fuels portfolio, trading
capability and new renewables development.
The Unit 5 outage at Huntly Power Station
increased repair and maintenance and related
consultant spend, and had knock-on costs
as explained on page 37. The efficiency and
expertise of our team in bringing the unit back
to service four months earlier than anticipated
averted greater financial impact.
Genesis has also created three in-house
AI tools. The first analyses transcripts
from our call centre, looking for common
themes. The second has created a
knowledge base for our power generation
sites. The third will help us work with
data from a variety of sources.
The next phase of our AI strategy will be
to assess large value opportunities and
consider the AI applications.
This year Genesis trialled
Microsoft Copilot Pro – one
of just five organisations
in New Zealand to do so,
and one of only a handful
worldwide.

Gen35 – supporting New Zealand to net zero 2050
We’re working to decarbonise our business
through building renewable generation, and
aim to transition our solid fuel stockpile at
Huntly Power Station to 100% biomass by FY30.
We’re also helping our residential and business
customers electrify.
Our Gen35 goals include our generation fleet
becoming 95% renewable by FY35, and our
business being on the trajectory to net zero
by 2040.
We’ve committed to investing $1.1 billion in new
renewables and battery storage by FY30, partly
funded by our share of free cash flows from the
Kupe gas field.
We have a goal to grow our renewable
portfolio to about 8,300 GWh through

Emissions update
Genesis has FY25 Science Based Targets (SBT)
that align with the global Paris Agreement
to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-
industrial levels. Verified by the internationally
recognised Science Based Targets initiative
(SBTi), our targets commit us to reduce more
than 1.2 million tonnes of annual carbon
emissions by FY25 (from a FY20 base),
including reducing generation emissions
by 36% and emissions from use of sold
products by 21%.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions in FY24 were 9% lower
than FY20, which equates to a reduction of
247,524 tonnes of CO₂e. Scope 3 emissions
from use of sold products were 60% lower than
FY20, which equates to a reduction of 822,138
tonnes of CO₂e. You can read more detail on
this in our FY24 Climate Statement.
Depending on hydro inflows and gas availability
over the coming year, market conditions
indicate reaching our FY25 SBT may be more
difficult than expected. We know the path
to net zero will be bumpy, however through
our Gen35 Strategy we are committed to
developing renewables, supporting a highly
renewable energy system through flexibility,
and empowering our customers to electrify
their lives.
In FY24 we began the process of setting a
net zero 2040 SBT. We aim to deliver this
through building new renewables and reducing
the emissions impact of Huntly Power Station
by gradually replacing coal with biomass.
In FY24, several factors resulted in us seeing
an increase in emissions of 1,204,995 tonnes
of CO₂e compared to FY23. FY24 saw low
hydro inflows compared to the above-average
flows of FY23, requiring higher thermal
electricity generation to ensure security
of supply. Nationally, hydro inflows in FY24
were down 21% relative to FY23.
1
This led to
less electricity generated from hydro-power
schemes nationally.
Coupled with a prolonged outage at Huntly
Power Station’s Unit 5 gas turbine from June
2023 to January 2024, this meant the less
efficient Rankine units needed to be used with
coal as well as gas to supply the same energy
usually produced by Unit 5.
Alongside this, we have seen a substantial
decline in gas production across the country,
with major field production down 24.5% in
the 12 months to May 2024.
2
The decline
has been faster than official forecasts and is
expected to continue. Well development work
at Kupe KS-9, which was an important part
of displacing coal earlier in our transition, has
not yet delivered the extra gas we had been
hoping for. Huntly Power Station runs on gas
and coal so less availability of gas creates the
need to burn more coal while we transition to
more renewables.
Finally, in the second half of FY24 we saw
demand increase 4% compared to the same
period last year.
3
Growth is expected to
continue due to industrial, business, home and
transport electrification, and new data centres.
We know the path to
net zero will be bumpy,
however through our
Gen35 Strategy we are
committed to developing
renewables, supporting
a highly renewable
energy system
through flexibility ,
and empowering our
customers to electrify
their lives.

Managing our
carbon obligations
DrylandCarbon is a partnership of four
New Zealand companies: Air New Zealand,
Contact Energy, Genesis Energy and Z Energy.
It has established a geographically diversified
portfolio of exotic forests for both timber
and carbon credits, to help the participants
meet their compliance surrender obligations
under the New Zealand Emissions Trading
Scheme (ETS).
DrylandCarbon was formed in 2019 and now
has 10,300 hectares planted or with planting in
progress. The forests are in the process of being
registered in the Emissions Trading Scheme. In
FY24, about 14,500 New Zealand Units (NZUs)
were generated by the DrylandCarbon fund for
Genesis. Each NZU represents one tonne of
carbon dioxide sequestered by the forests.
A second partnership forestry project, Forest
Partners, was founded in early 2022 and is in
the process of identifying land for acquisition
and establishing forests. Genesis is one of the
four founding partners of Forest Partners, along
with Contact Energy, Todd Corporation and
Z Energy.
Both forestry partnerships acquire marginal
farmland, with trees grown responsibly by
professional forestry managers. This helps
them produce high-quality timber, as well as
a reliable income stream that supports rural
communities and contributes to meeting
ETS obligations.
DrylandCarbon is on track to have all of its
forests ETS registered by June 2025. Some of
the forests owned by Forest Partners will also
be ETS registered by that date, with others still
being established.
Working with government
We work hard to build and strengthen
Genesis’ reputation and social licence by
engaging with key government stakeholders
and liaising with our teams on regulatory
requirements. This year our work included:
•
Visits to our generation sites by
government officials
•
Remaining in regular communication with
officials to ensure they are well informed
about Genesis’ evolving portfolio position
and any potential implications for security
of supply
•
Providing the Lauriston solar farm project
team with regulatory advice
•
Providing the team working on our first
battery energy storage system with
regulatory advice
•
About 30 submissions on government policy
and regulation consultations
Some of our key submissions included:
•
MBIE’s omnibus consultation on
New Zealand’s energy strategy
•
The decommissioning regime for oil and gas
•
The Electricity Authority’s work on winter
peak capacity, hedge disclosure obligations,
retail market monitoring, and its preliminary
UTS decision on 9 August 2021
•

Supporting demand growth
Key to ensuring New Zealand meets its net
zero 2050 target is supporting consumers
to transition from fossil fuels to electricity,
thereby increasing electricity demand. An
independent online survey we commissioned
in February 2024 of 1000 New Zealanders
showed that for many, the move to
electricity is well underway. Many already
have electricity for cooking (50%), heating
(45%) and hot water heating (42%). Of the
remainder, about 16% want to convert and
around 25% said ‘maybe’.
EVs have had a lower uptake – only 9% of
survey respondents have an electric vehicle
now – while 21% plan to buy one and 36% say
they might.
Of those considering converting their
transport, heating and cooking, more than
half intend doing so in the next five years.
The gas shortage the country is now
experiencing may accelerate that transition
as prices increase over coming years.
We see value for both our shareholders and
the country in supporting growth in electricity
demand. We’re working on new products and
services that will help customers electrify
their lives and businesses.
Distributed energy resources such as rooftop
solar and batteries will be key elements in
our strategy.
Helping customers transition
Supporting our customers
to electrify their lives and
businesses is a key pillar
of our Gen35 strategy.
ENERGY IQ EXPANDS
Our popular Energy IQ app lets customers
manage their energy use remotely, tracking
and providing data to help them understand
how their household compares with others.
This year we introduced a carbon calculator
to show the impact of their home’s energy
use, and improved our insights data.
We also promoted Energy IQ for business.
Companies can see their energy use and
emissions up to the last 48 hours, offering
valuable data for decision-making. With 35%
of business customers engaged with EIQ for
business, this is helping companies manage
their costs and improve their efficiency.
EVERYWHERE PROVES POPULAR

Our EV plan and EVerywhere product
continued to prove popular in FY24.
We launched EVerywhere in September 2022,
enabling EV owners to recharge on the go
for at-home prices. More than 50% of our
EV-owning customers now subscribe
to EVerywhere, and they tell us it was a
key reason for choosing Genesis. During
FY24 customers on our Energy EV plan
almost doubled to 8,325, with 4,439 also
enjoying EVerywhere.

SUPPORTING BUSINESS CUSTOMERS
TO ELECTRIFY
We encourage all our business customers
to electrify through marketing strategies
and communications.
Two of our initiatives this year have been
bundled EV chargers and electricity discounts
(see below). Both have proved a win-win for
the customer and for Genesis – the customer
benefits from discounts on their decarbonising
effort, while Genesis gets the benefit of their
ongoing electricity consumption. This also
helps our customers reduce their emissions
and demonstrates Genesis’ commitment to
contributing to a low carbon future.
For the year ahead we are ramping up our
decarbonisation programme and will be
working on creating new offers for our
SME base.
Making charger installation easy
In FY24 we launched a new bundle made
up of the Business Energy Plan (BEP) and
discounted EV chargers.
The customer signs up through a Genesis web
page, and their information is passed to our
partner, RCR Infrastructure. RCR contacts the
customer, books a visit and generates a quote
to install EV chargers on site, at a discount of
up to 15%.
Once installed, customers enjoy the standard
BEP discounts on their bill.
Electrified forklifts
For three decades, Auckland Fork Truck Hire
has been renting out forklifts and fork trucks to
customers across the city. Until this year, most
of its forklifts were fuelled by 20kg LPG bottles,
but – with support from Genesis – the fleet is
now electrifying.
Genesis customers who are on a BEP can get a
special 20% discount when they buy a new UN
electric forklift – typically a saving of between
$4,000 and $8,000. They also get the first six
months of vehicle servicing free and 15% off
ongoing servicing. There’s also a discount for
BEP customers renting UN electric forklifts.
Electric forklifts keep indoor environments
cleaner than LPG or diesel, thanks to their zero
carbon emissions. They’re also quieter and have
lower maintenance costs.
The partnership fits into our vision of
electrifying our customer’s lives. When we help
displace LPG with electricity, we are helping
our customers to transition to lower carbon
alternatives. This helps our customers to reduce
their Scope 1 emissions and showcases our
commitment to offer sustainable solutions.
NEXT STEPS
In the coming year, we will start
to explore and trial demand
flexibility solutions in partnership
with our large business customers
to optimise their energy use and
contribute to grid stability.
HELPING LARGE BUSINESS
CUSTOMERS DECARBONISE
Our large business customers can be big
consumers of energy, so working with them
to decarbonise can have a significant impact.
Greenhouse heat pump cuts
emissions and costs
Van Lier Nurseries supplies cut flowers
and roses, and its greenhouses were being
heated by a gas-fuelled boiler. As part of our
decarbonisation-as-a-service pilot, we helped
the business swap to an electric heat pump in
October 2023, working together to bring the
project in 6% below budget.
Seven months after installing the heat pump,
Van Lier Nurseries had saved $116,000
in energy costs and reduced its carbon
emissions by about 330 tonnes.
Little tweaks make a big difference
When the University of Waikato wanted to
improve its energy efficiency, we started by
measuring how it was using power in its large
buildings. We then suggested actions that
would optimise power use, such as tweaking
chiller pump schedules and installing our
Energy Insights sensors across the campus.
After three years of monitoring, we found the
changes had saved the university 63.5 MWh in
energy use each year – enough to power about
eight homes.

Our commitment to nature
Our Nature Position Statement sets out Genesis’s commitment
to the natural world. In Aotearoa New Zealand 36% of GDP
depends on biodiversity and ecosystem services – and activities
at our generation sites have a range of environmental and
cultural impacts in relation to biodiversity.
Read our full nature position statement here.
Helping protect and restore nature
Environmental initiatives
In Aotearoa New Zealand, the sustainable
management of natural and physical resources
is governed by the Resource Management
Act 1991 (RMA). The RMA requires action
to avoid, remedy or mitigate any adverse
effects resulting from activities. We take
our environmental obligations seriously and
work hard to achieve a high level of consent
compliance across our generation sites.
Genesis’ resource consents include a number
of initiatives that are in place to mitigate our
social, cultural and environmental impacts.
In addition, Genesis supports a range of
initiatives that are over and above our consent
requirements. For more information please
visit: https://www.genesisenergy.co.nz/about/
sustainability/nature
A bootcamp for nature
This year Genesis participated in a Taskforce on
Nature-related Disclosures (TNFD) bootcamp
alongside several other organisations, run by
the Aotearoa Circle. We participated to learn
how we could use an international framework
to integrate nature further into our business
decision-making processes and reporting,
acknowledging that nature-related disclosures
may become mandatory in the future.
A focus for FY25 will be understanding more
about our impacts on nature and how we can
improve the condition, resilience, indigenous
biodiversity, ecological processes and other
values of the ecosystems and communities
around our generation sites.
Our commitment to water
Genesis acknowledges the impact our
electricity generation has on river systems
and the associated cultural, social and
environmental effects. We take seriously
our responsibility to carefully manage our
operations and use of water.
We recognise the principles of the Treaty
of Waitangi and the relationship that
mana whenua has with water. We work
hard to mitigate and compensate for the
effects of our activities, striving for strong
and meaningful relationships with mana
whenua, communities, and environmental
organisations around our generation sites.

Tekapo Power Scheme
resource consent
The Waitaki and Tekapo Power schemes are
central to New Zealand’s electricity supply,
providing about 18% of the country’s electricity
needs and containing about 60% of New
Zealand’s controllable hydro-storage. Genesis’
Tekapo scheme generates enough renewable
electricity to power more than 120,000
households.
The principal resource consents for each
scheme expire on 30 April 2025. In July 2023
Genesis (Tekapo) and Meridian (Waitaki)
submitted individual reconsenting applications
to cover the next 35 years. We are each
seeking the same operational flexibility as the
schemes have now. Genesis is seeking one
slight adjustment to the flood operating rules to
enhance the safety and integrity of the scheme.
The successful reconsenting of these schemes
is a critical element of New Zealand’s energy
security and to helping achieve Genesis’ and
New Zealand’s climate change targets.
As part of the consent application process,
we and Meridian reached agreements with
mana whenua, the Department of Conservation
(DOC), Fish & Game and the Mackenzie
District Council. These agreements address
cultural, community and environmental
matters, including an expanded biodiversity
programme in the Waitaki catchment.
During FY25 Genesis will continue to progress
our application, with the desired outcome
being consents granted for a further 35 years
that result in no material changes to output
from the Tekapo Power Scheme. This will
ensure the valuable contribution the Tekapo
Power Scheme provides in terms of storage in
Lake Tekapo, and generation through Tekapo A
and B power stations, is retained.
PROJECT RIVER RECOVERY
Project River Recovery is a Department of
Conservation-led programme to maintain and
restore habitat in the Upper Waitaki Basin for
the benefit of its native plants and animals,
some of which are endemic to this region.
This financial year Genesis, Meridian and DOC
were pleased to announce a new agreement
that will see a significant increase in total
annual funding for indigenous biodiversity
initiatives in the Waitaki catchment, with a
focus on braided river habitat and wetland
protection and enhancement. Genesis’
contribution to the new indigenous biodiversity
programme will increase from $72,843 to
$287,500 a year, once Genesis’ resource
consents to operate the Tekapo Power Scheme
are renewed.
A highlight of this year was seeing the return
of the black-fronted terns after flooding
forced them out during the previous nesting
season. There was also a phenomenal effort
at weed spraying to help maintain braided
river ecosystems.

Extending our support for whio
The whio/blue duck is a
New Zealand native bird found
nowhere else in the world.
Whio are one of only four duck
species worldwide that live on
clean, fast-flowing streams and
rivers. They are an indicator
species, which means where
you find whio, you’ll find
clean waterways.
Genesis has partnered with DOC on Whio
Forever since 2011, providing support for
predator trapping at eight security sites
1
across the motu. It was unfortunate to
see another decline in the number of
whio breeding pairs at security sites this
year, with pair numbers dropping by 20
since FY23 to 567.
DOC reported this was due to weather events
causing high water levels, forcing whio into
smaller tributary streams that lack predator
traps. Flood events also increased the
difficulty of re-baiting traps and accurately
surveying the surviving number of whio.
A review of the best methods of whio
conservation will be undertaken to support
whio population recovery, so numbers
will once again track up over time.

Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park contains
one of the world’s last stands of prehistoric
rainforest, and its rivers are ideal environments
for whio.
Iwi representatives shared the history of their
land and efforts to enhance its biodiversity,
including predator control to protect whio.
DOC ranger Sarah Wills explained that
predator work had seen whio numbers increase
from 58 pairs in 2016 to 77 pairs at the last
census in 2021.
The visit was valuable to see the work being
done on the ground to protect our native duck
by iwi, DOC, volunteers and community groups
at Whirinaki and around the country.

Waste management
When Huntly Power Station generates
power from coal, it produces large
quantities of ash. Last year, we joined forces
with Fletcher Building to keep pond ash
out of landfill. We now provide pond ash
to local concrete manufacturer Golden
Bay, which uses the ash to make cement.
Using the waste ash creates a lower-carbon
cement product and contributes to a
circular economy.
During FY24 we faced a few challenges.
For several periods, our fly ash didn’t meet
Golden Bay’s specifications for making
cement, and we’re working to prevent
this happening again by planning mitigations.
At our corporate sites, we continued
to support our waste and recycling
minimisation initiatives. At our Auckland
office, waste to landfill was lower in FY24
than FY23, which is positive considering our
office occupancy is increasing. We have also
been educating our office-based employees
through a new site induction process.
We are now looking ahead at ways to extend
our waste and recycling initiatives to our
national LPG depots.

Sustainable finance
Our Sustainable Finance Framework sets
out the process by which we intend to issue
and manage bonds and loans to support our
sustainability objectives. These contribute
toward our Sustainable Development Goals,
and to create positive environmental and
social outcomes.
We aim to support the industry’s response
to helping New Zealand achieve its net zero
emissions goals, address social challenges and
provide a mechanism for investors to contribute
capital to achieve their sustainability goals.
We have $250m of sustainability linked
loan facilities, with targets tied to reducing
our emissions, developing new renewable
generation capacity, and creating pathways
for the future of work.
Our fleet is also safer. We increased
awareness and use of risk-mitigating
technologies, including Guardian Fatigue
Camera systems, which help prevent driver
fatigue and distraction.
We trialled EROAD telematics, which provides
an in-vehicle display, and found it reduced
speeding and cut fuel consumption by 6%.
This saving helped offset some of the higher
fleet costs this year due to inflation and new
Road User Charges on electric vehicles.
EROAD has also improved our pool vehicle
booking systems.

WEATHER
Rainfall into our catchments was below average
this year following the near-record levels in
FY23. This combined with Unit 5 at Huntly
Power Station being unavailable until mid-
January made managing our lakes challenging.
Through careful management of our three
hydro schemes in Waikaremoana, Tongariro
and Tekapo, we were still able to deliver
2,664 GWh of hydro generation, in line
with the long-term median.
While for the most part temperatures
were above average, much of the country
experienced below-average temperatures as
we approached winter, which combined with
underlying growth, helped drive a 4% increase
in demand year on year between January and
April 2024.
As a result, Huntly generation increased to
3,282 GWh, 2,333 GWh of which came from
the Rankines. Despite continued reliance on
Huntly to cover periods of low hydro output
and increased demand, generation from
Huntly was still its third lowest since 1999.
ENERGY TRANSITION
As New Zealand moves towards cleaner and
more sustainable energy sources to meet
its net zero 2050 target, the energy sector
is faced with the challenge of transitioning
from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
This compels us to undergo our own transition
within the energy transition, including
substantial investment in new infrastructure,
technology and skills. At the same time, we
must reposition our assets to capture value
from a future market dominated by intermittent
solar, wind and hydro generation, with regular
dry periods.
The transition also presents opportunities
to innovate and diversify offerings, such as
developing new renewable energy projects or
offering new energy solutions to customers.
FY24 has seen new renewable projects
come online in the form of wind farms, solar
farms and geothermal plants. However the
intermittency of wind and solar farms, a decline
in gas supply nationally, and increasing demand
for electricity from EV uptake and large
business energy conversion has emphasised
the critical role Huntly Power Station continues
to play in baseload, firming and peaking.
Electricity users are clear that keeping the
lights on is essential, so New Zealand will
use some coal as a fuel of last resort. Under
Gen35 we are focused on displacing imported
coal with domestic biomass to maintain
our operational solid fuel stockpile of about
350,000 tonnes. Our commitment to install
batteries at Huntly Power Station will help
address peak demand concerns. And we are
playing our part in growing new renewables
through our solar programme and exploration
of wind options.
Delays in consenting and gaining transmission
grid connections has been a barrier to
new renewable development to date, and
we continue to liaise with energy sector
participants and the Government on
addressing these issues.
External environment
Our planning and operations are influenced by the
external environment in which we operate. Each of the
areas below present s challenges and opportunities to
which we must respond in order to be successful.
Refer to our Value Creation Model on page 10 of this report.

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024INTRODUCTIONOUR PROGRESSPEOPLEPROFITFINANCIALSGOVERNANCEPLANETSUSTAINABILITY
COMPETITION
While retail competition remains healthy,
we continue to experience competition for
renewable energy developments including
access to suitable sites, connection capacity
both at national grid and distribution level,
and resources, including engineers, project
developers and consultants across solar, wind,
battery projects.
In response, our approach to new renewables
is a mix of greenfield and acquiring late-
stage developments. The latter derisks the
development process by enabling us to acquire
already-secured land, consents and connection,
and hence reduce the risk of delays. This,
combined with our ability to develop projects
on our own, through joint venture partnerships,
or to secure offtakes, allows us access to a wide
range of developments.
Regarding biomass, we are looking at ways
to support new suppliers coming into the
market to diversify this fledgling supply chain,
including operators of torrefaction plants.
REGULATION
The change of Government in 2023 has
resulted in material changes to the policy
and regulatory environment in which Genesis
operates. The New Zealand Battery Project
and aspirational 100% renewable electricity
target have both been cancelled, with
Budget 2024 confirming the scaling back of
subsidies for business (GIDI) and household
electrification (Warmer Kiwi Homes). While
the existing energy strategy and related work
programmes intended to enable a long-term
energy transition are expected to continue,
we expect significant changes consistent
with the Government’s priorities.
We expect the Government to announce
policy as part of its signalled ‘Electrify
New Zealand’ commitment sometime in
2024. Part of the Government’s plan to double
renewable electricity generation includes
the ‘fast-track bill’ and wider RMA reform
signalled for later in the Parliamentary term,
with a new permitting regime for offshore
wind development also expected to be in
law in 2025.
The Government has cancelled the review of
the Emissions Trading Scheme that had been
underway, and indicated a commitment to
allowing a well-functioning carbon market
to play an important role in driving down
emissions. The Government’s plans for meeting
emissions budgets are outlined in the draft
Emissions Reduction Plan. Genesis’ response
to this plan was being finalised at the time this
report was completed.
Other notable changes include the
Government’s commitment to repeal the
ban on offshore oil and gas exploration, and
stimulate more activity in that sector.
Energy hardship remains a priority, and in 2024
the Government initiated its midpoint review
of the Low Fixed User Charge regulations.
The Government has
cancelled the review of the
Emissions Tradi ng Scheme
that had been underway, and
indicated a commitment to
allowing a well-functioning
carbon market to play an
important role in driving
down emissions.

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024INTRODUCTIONOUR PROGRESSPEOPLEPROFITFINANCIALSGOVERNANCEPLANETSUSTAINABILITY
SUPPLY CHAIN
Our supply chain continues to be influenced
by scarcity of skilled labour, local supplier
availability and critical resources. This has
meant some instances when it has been hard to
get contractors out to difficult-to-access sites.
We work with our partners to find solutions,
and build longer timeframes into our schedules.
As we move ahead with our new renewable
energy projects, we’re carefully managing
our supply chain to ensure a reliable and
sustainable supply of the people, materials
and resources we need. Examples of building
sustainability into those supply chains include
considering suppliers close to delivery points
to avoid distance travel, and sourcing as many
different products as possible from each
supplier.
We are conscious of the need to guard against
modern slavery in our supply chains as much
as we can.
In selecting the equipment suppliers for our
solar programme, the Genesis-FRV joint
venture has followed the procurement and
compliance process of FRV, based in Spain,
which includes management of modern slavery
risk and exposure, particularly from upstream
raw materials used in the manufacturing of
solar modules. This is based on a higher level of
legislative and shareholder requirements than
exist in New Zealand and includes independent
third-party reviews of solar module vendors,
supply chains and sub-contractors, including
visits to module supplier facilities.
Regarding coal supply, an independent third
party will undertake a comprehensive audit in
FY25 of the Indonesian company from which
we source coal directly. An audit in 2019
confirmed our supplier met required standards.
In addition, the supplier meets regularly
with its sub-contractors and requires regular
reports on the sub-contractors’ health, safety,
environmental and social targets and progress.
Customer technology is
developing rapidly, and
we are keeping pace by
modernising our customer
platforms for billing, sales,
service and pricing.
We are conscious of the
need to guard against
modern slavery in our supply
chains as much as we can.
TECHNOLOGY
This year we renewed our Technology Strategy
to respond to the requirements of Gen35.
Focus areas are our key platforms, our data,
and delivery of our critical technology projects.
We’ve continued our multi-year journey in
lifting our security posture against the globally
recognised ISO 27001 Information Security
Management standard and the Generation
specific VCSS-CSO standard.
We’ve strengthened the resilience and
availability of a number of our critical systems
to ensure they fit with our revised standards,
focusing on their importance to our business.
We’re continuing to execute our cloud
modernisation strategy, with a significant
portion of our infrastructure having been
modernised and/or migrated to our new
cloud environment.
Customer technology is developing rapidly,
and we are keeping pace by modernising
our customer billing and CRM platforms.
These platforms, and the associated updated
operating model, will be delivered across all the
main brands and customer segments through
to FY27. Frank Energy will be the first brand
and customer base to migrate to the platform
in FY25.

What matters most
Issues that matter to Genesis and our stakeholders in FY24
We are committed to creating shared value – for our customers, our shareholders, our people, and our communities. We do this through our core business, which is focused on providing reliable energy
to our customers, and more widely by generating positive economic, social, and environmental outcomes for Aotearoa New Zealand. We manage our approach to sustainable business through a suite of
principles, policies, and statements.
Our stakeholders inform our approach to sustainability, and we regularly engage with them to understand what’s important to them in the short, medium and long term.
Identifying material sustainability issues
We have identified a range of current and emerging risks and opportunities that may impact our stakeholders and business. As part of our annual reporting process, we undertook an assessment of
industry trends, internal reports, external research and conversations with stakeholders, Genesis executives and senior leaders to gain insights into material risks and opportunities.
This feeds into Genesis’ assessment of material topics, informing our strategic approach, and guiding our reporting in line with internationally recognised sustainability standards and principles, including
the Global Reporting Initiative.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2024
General information and significant matters
General information
These consolidated financial statements comprise Genesis Energy Limited ('Genesis'), its
subsidiaries, controlled entities and the Group's interests in associates and joint arrangements
(together, the 'Group'). Refer to section D for more information on the Group structure.
Genesis is registered under the Companies Act 1993. It is a mixed ownership model company,
majority owned by the 'Crown', bound by the requirements of the Public Finance Act 1989. Genesis
is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)
and has bonds listed on the NZX debt market. Genesis is an FMC reporting entity under the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The core business of the Group and activities carried out by each segment is disclosed in note A1.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared:
• In accordance with New Zealand generally
accepted accounting practice ('GAAP') and
comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS') Accounting Standards
and New Zealand equivalents ('NZ IFRS'), as
appropriate for profit-oriented 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 revaluation of derivatives, emission
units held for trading and generation assets;
• In New Zealand dollars ('NZD') 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.
Significant events
The Groups operations and financial performance in FY24 were materially impacted by three events:
1. Unplanned outage of Huntly Unit 5;
2. Gas supply constraints; and
3. Below average hydro inflows.
On 30 June 2023, Unit 5 at Huntly Power Station had an unexpected outage when its generator
circuit breaker failed. The outage resulted in increased usage of the Huntly Rankine units which
are less efficient than Huntly Unit 5, therefore requiring using a mix of both Gas and Coal fired
generation to replace the equivalent generation. The unit returned to service in January 2024 and an
insurance claim was lodged. The Group has recorded net income from the insurance claim of $29.4
million held within Other revenue (refer to note A1).
Gas production across the country has continued to decline and the decline has been faster than
official forecasts predicted. Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment announced on 11 July
2024 that gas production is forecast to drop below demand for at least the next three years. Gas
supply constraints have impacted fuel costs.
In the current year, a review of Kupe's reserves was performed, which resulted in a decrease in
remaining reserves for the Kupe oil and gas field. The reserves revision results from new information
following the KS-9 well development, with the drilling campaign intersecting the reservoir deeper
than expected and pressure data confirming indications that the central field and eastern fault
block are connected. The reduction in reserves resulted in the recognition of a $64.1 million
impairment loss in FY24 for the Kupe cash generating unit (CGU). While the change in reserves did
not impact the timing of Kupe's end of life, it did impact the depletion rate for oil and gas assets and
amortisation rate of contractual arrangements associated with Kupe and therefore the amount of
depletion and amortisation recognised in the current year (refer to note B2 for more information).
The gas supply constraints have also impacted the carrying value of thermal generation assets,
which are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. In calculating the fair value of the thermal
generation assets, the Group anticipate fuel costs to increase and generation volumes to decrease
for Huntly Unit 5 in the short-term because of the gas supply constraints. The decrease in the fair
value of Huntly Unit 5 of $90.6 million was recognised in the revaluation reserve. The anticipated
increase in fuel costs also impacted the Huntly Rankine units, however, generation volumes are
expected to increase in the short-term. The increase in the fair value of the Rankine units of $31.8
million was recognised in the income statement. The change in fair value of these units includes
impacts not directly associated with the gas supply constraints such as the change in forecasted
wholesale electricity prices and generation volumes that are indirectly impacted and other unrelated
changes in assumptions (refer to note B1 for more information). The forecasted gas prices as a result
of the gas supply constraints are a key judgement in the calculation of the recoverable amount of
Kupe CGU (refer to note B2 for more information).
Inflows into the Group's hydro catchments were below average in FY24, following near-record
levels in FY23 and there were periods where hydro generation could only run on minimum flows.
The below average hydro inflows and gas supply constraints resulted in an increase in coal fired
thermal generation which had a knock-on impact on wholesale electricity prices, which remained
elevated during FY24. Both wholesale electricity generation revenue and wholesale electricity
purchases increased significantly in FY24. The average price received for wholesale electricity
generated in FY24 was $188 per GWh compared to $95 per GWh in FY23 and the average price paid
for electricity purchases in FY24 was $182 per GWh compared to $88 per GWh in FY23 (refer to note
A1).

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.
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 (notes 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).
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. Refer to
note A4 for more information relating to impairments in the financial year.
Climate change
Climate change legislation set net zero 2050 as the destination for New Zealand’s transition to a low
carbon future. To reach net zero 2050, at least 50% of New Zealand’s energy needs to come from
electricity, at least 95% of that needs to be renewable and electricity needs to be available 100% of
the time.
The Group's Gen35 strategy, released in FY24, outlines how it will take action over the next 10
years to reduce emissions by growing renewables, supporting customers to electrify and managing
increasing energy demands, while ensuring customers have stable, reliable and cost-effective
energy.
The main estimates and accounting judgements made by the Group in the preparation of the
financial statements that incorporate the effect of climate change and the energy transition are
described on the following page.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
General information and significant matters (continued)
BalanceEstimates and judgementsNotePage
Valuation of generation assets
and electricity swaps and
options and PPAs
Generation assets and electricity swaps and options and PPAs are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. The wholesale electricity price path
is the key driver of changes in these valuations. The wholesale electricity price path is influenced by supply and demand for electricity, generation
costs such as fuel, maintenance and capital expenditure costs, the cost of carbon, hydro inflows and storage levels, weather conditions and
regulatory and policy changes. It reflects the impact of the New Zealand Government’s climate change policies that have been initiated to meet the
Government’s ambition to be net zero by 2050.
Supply and demand are impacted by incentives that encourage consumers to transition to a low carbon future or disincentives to encourage
emission reductions such as the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS). The ETS and the forecast increase in electricity demand encourages investment in
new renewable generation sources.
The previous Government’s policy to ban new gas exploration to support the transition to a low carbon future, and onerous rehabilitation provisions,
have contributed to a lack of investment in the oil and gas sector, which in turn has contributed to the gas supply constraints currently being
experienced.
This has resulted in increased cost of generating electricity and is reflected in the significant increase in the wholesale electricity price path.

Useful lives of retail LPG
assets
LPG assets includes LPG depots, reticulated networks and customer installs. The useful life of these assets aligns with the Government’s ambition to
be net zero by 2050.
B185
Impairment testing of Retail
and Kupe cash-generating
units
The Group assesses goodwill of the Retail CGU and the Kupe CGU annually for impairment. Impairment tests are based on estimated discounted
cash flow analysis on a value in use basis. In completing the impairment assessments climate-related risks and opportunities are taken into
consideration.
B2, B388, 90
Useful lives of Kupe’s oil and
gas assets and intangibles
The majority of Kupe’s oil and gas assets and associated intangibles are depleted or amortised on a units-of-production basis using the latest
reserves information. Kupe’s end of life is expected to be in the 2030’s. The decline in Kupe reserves is in line with the Groups transition to net zero
by 2040.
B2, B388, 90
Useful lives of thermal
generation assets
There is an expectation that thermal generation from fossil fuels will continue to decline over the next 10 years as it is replaced with either thermal
generation using more renewable fuel sources (such as biomass) or other technology (such as batteries).
There is a risk that fossil fuel generation is displaced faster than anticipated due to: (1) domestic gas supply constraints; (2) government regulation;
(3) advances in technology and construction of more flexible generation with lower emissions such as geothermal or use of batteries; and (4)
commercial arrangements that include demand response features that provide alternative solutions to dry year risk (long period firming).
There is also a risk that the phase down is slower than expected due to delays in the development of renewable fuel sources or new technology or
higher demand growth than new renewables can keep up with.
B185
Provisions and contingent
liabilities
During the year, the Group announced its commitment to set a net zero emission reduction target in line with the Science Based Targets Initiative's
Corporate Net-Zero guidance which provides companies with a clearly-defined path to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with limiting global
warming to 1.5°C. For the Group, a net zero target under the SBTi guidance is a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90
percent from a FY20 base year by 2040. This commitment has not resulted in changes to any material estimates or judgements and has not resulted
in the recognition of any provisions or contingent liabilities.
There is no provision for the remediation of the Huntly site that contains the thermal generation units. Under Gen35 the Group aims to operate 1,400
MW of flexible assets in a suite of options at the Huntly site centred around the power station.
There is no provision for any climate litigation in FY24. The recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the Group and five other corporate defendants
and Mike Smith has not resulted in any present obligation for the Group.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
General information and significant matters (continued)
Adoption of new and revised accounting standards, interpretations and amendments
Amendments to NZ IAS 1 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies
The amendments change the requirements in NZ IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting
policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term ‘significant accounting policies’ with
‘material accounting policy information’. The amendment has been adopted by the Group and there
has been no changes to the accounting policies disclosed.
NZ IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts
The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 17 and the related amendments for the first time in the current year.
NZ IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure
of insurance contracts and supersedes NZ IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. A subsidiary of the Group
(Genesis Energy Insurance Pte Limited) has transitioned to NZ IFRS 17 however there is no impact on
the Group results.
NZ IFRS 17 outlines a general model for valuing insurance contracts, which is modified for contracts
with direct participation features, described as the variable fee approach. The general model is
simplified if certain criteria are met by measuring the liability for remaining coverage using the
premium allocation approach. The general model uses current assumptions to estimate the amount,
timing and uncertainty of future cash flows and it explicitly measures the cost of that uncertainty. It
takes into account market interest rates and the impact of policyholders’ options and guarantees.
Amendments to NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes - International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules
The OECD issued a Two-Pillar solution to address the tax challenges arising from digitalisation of
the economy. The New Zealand government has announced that it will implement key aspects of
Pillar Two, a framework that establishes a global minimum tax of 15% for multinationals, for financial
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The Group is reviewing the impact of Pillar Two which
is not expected to be significant on the basis that the Group does not have significant operations in
foreign jurisdictions with tax rates below 15%.
Accounting standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective
NZ IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
NZ IFRS 18 changes the structure of the Income Statement by firstly, introducing two new defined
subtotals (Operating profit and Profit before financing and income taxes) to increase comparability
of information reported; and secondly, requiring an entity to classify all income and expenses into
one of the following five categories: Operating, Investing, Financing, Income taxes and Discontinued
operations.
The standard also introduces the concept of a 'management-defined performance measure' (MPM).
MPMs are subtotals of income and expenses other than those listed by NZ IFRS 18 or specifically
required by another IFRS accounting standard that an entity uses to communicate to users of
financial statements management's view of an aspect of the financial performance of the entity
as a whole. The entity is required to disclose a reconciliation between the MPM and the most
directly comparable NZ IFRS 18 subtotal along with how it is calculated, any changes made to the
calculation and a statement noting that the MPM may not be directly comparable to measures
provided by other entities.
NZ IFRS 18 is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027,
early adoption is permitted. The Group plans to adopt the standard for the financial year ended
30 June 2028.

Head office functions, including human resources, finance, corporate relations,
property management, legal, corporate governance and strategy.
A1. Segment reporting
The Group reports activities under four operating segments as follows:
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 (2023: none).
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 $146.26 (2023: $124.73).
Non-GAAP performance measures
Earnings before net finance expense, income
tax, depreciation, depletion, amortisation,
impairment, unrealised fair value changes
and other gains and losses (EBITDAF) is a
performance measure used internally to provide
insight into the operating performance of the
Group. This measure is considered to be a
non-GAAP performance measure. This should
not be viewed in isolation nor considered a
substitute for measures reported in accordance
with New Zealand Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards ('NZ IFRS')
Accounting Standards. EBITDAF is used by
many companies; however, because this
measure is not defined by NZ IFRS it might
not be uniformly defined or calculated by all
companies. Accordingly, this measure might not
be comparable.

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.
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. It reflects the impact of
the New Zealand Government's climate change
policy and the assumptions over thermal fuel
availability and costs, both of which could have
an impact on future prices. In the prior year, the
price path reflected the uncertainty surrounding
Tiwai Point smelter operating beyond 2025; new
long-term electricity supply agreements are now
in place which removed this uncertainty.
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. As the internally generated price
path is underpinned by 90 years of historical
hydrological inflow data, the impact of climate
change on hydrology over this period has been
reflected in the internally generated price path.
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 price path
makes assumptions over thermal fuel availability
and costs, both in the near- and longer-term.
Price paths published by independent third
parties
In the prior year, independent third party price
path assumptions incorporated the long-term
electricity supply agreements recently announced
by Tiwai Point smelter. Consensus was that there
was a high likelihood of Tiwai Point remaining
open or being replaced with new industrial
demand. This uncertainty no longer remains.
Other key assumptions
The valuation also includes assumptions around
market fuel and electricity supply and demand.
Electricity demand increases from current levels in
the longer term from industrial electrification and
electric vehicle fleet growth in response to climate
change. Changes in these interrelated factors
will impact the wholesale electricity price path

In-house modelling of the wholesale electricity
market has been used to determine the
generation volumes required to meet energy
demand both on a wholesale market and asset
level basis. The generation volumes used in the
valuation range between 2,767 GWh and 6,014

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 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
2024 to $3,628.7 million (2023: $3,323.6 million)
resulting in a net gain on revaluation of $415.4
million (2023: $65.0 million loss). The revaluation
increase was principally driven by an increase
in the wholesale electricity prices and thermal
generation volumes following delays in future
build assumptions, partially offset by higher
fuel costs due to tight gas supply and imported
coal. The revaluation increase recognised in the
income statement reflects a valuation increase
for Huntly Rankine units.
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 (Rankine
units, unit 5 and unit 6). As the key inputs into
the valuation are based on unobservable market
data, the valuation is classified as level three in
the fair value hierarchy. It requires significant
judgement, and therefore there is a range of
reasonably possible assumptions that could be
used in estimating the fair value. Refer to note
F8 for an overview of the fair value hierarchy.
and generation volumes. The valuation also
considers the cost of carbon at 30 June 2024
with an assumption that the existing Emissions
Trading Scheme will continue or is replaced
with a scheme that has a similar economic impact.
These factors are reviewed for reasonableness by
senior management personnel who are responsible
for the price path used by the business.

Historical cost
If generation assets were carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment, the carrying amount would be approximately $1,501.6 million (2023: $1,480.7 million).
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.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line
basis. The estimated useful lives are reviewed
annually to determine whether there have
been any changes due to operational or
external factors, including climate change
considerations, and updated as appropriate.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down
immediately to its recoverable amount if the
carrying amount is greater than its estimated
recoverable amount.

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 and the costs of
acquiring new interests. The costs of drilling exploration wells are initially capitalised pending the
determination of the success of the wells. 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 and gas producing assets, excluding major inspection
costs, is 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 a
volumetric and dynamic performance assessment, has been used to estimate the uncertainty
range of the reserves. There are high levels of uncertainty in terms of accessibility of reserves
through sealing faults and pressure support.
In the current year the Joint Venture Operator performed a review of Kupe's reserves which
resulted in a decrease in remaining reserves for proved reserves ('1P'). The reserves revision
results from new information following the KS-9 well development, with the drilling campaign
intersecting the reservoir deeper than expected and pressure data confirming indications that
the central field and eastern fault block are connected. Genesis engaged GaffneyCline, an
independent expert, to review and verify the Operator's reserve estimate in line with industry
standards. A reduction of 10 per cent in these reserves would increase depletion charges going
forward by approximately $3.5 million per annum at current production rates. Proved and
probable reserves (‘2P’) have also been revised down. The table below presents the remaining
Kupe oil and gas field gross reserves in Peta joule equivalents (‘PJe’) of which the Group has a
46.0 per cent interest (2023: 46.0 per cent).

Impairment of oil and gas producing assets
As a result of a reduction in remaining field reserves, an impairment assessment was performed
over the Kupe CGU. The recoverable amount was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis
(value in use), with the estimated future cash flow projections being based on proved and probable
reserves (2P) of 124.3 PJe (gross field reserves). As a result of this assessment, an impairment has
been recognised and is first applied to Goodwill and then on a pro-rated basis to the remainder of
the assets within the CGU.

Key estimates and judgements
To determine future cash inflows, the value in use calculation uses 2P reserves and makes
assumptions around future sales prices. Operating expenditure, capital expenditure and end of life
decommissioning costs are included as future cash outflows. The pre-tax discount rate used is 14.1
per cent. An adverse change in one of these assumptions could result in a further reduction in the
recoverable amount, in which case a further impairment may be possible in a future period.
The recoverable amount is sensitive to a change in reserves. A range of outcomes has been
identified from a low of 113.5 PJe to a high of 144.8 PJe. Genesis engaged GaffneyCline, an
independent expert, to review and verify the reserves, supporting that the range used for the
impairment assessment was reasonable.
The recoverable amount is also sensitive to a change in natural gas sales prices. An assessment
has been made of the likely sales prices of uncontracted gas but given current market volatility
a reasonable change to these projections could be +/- $2/GJ.

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
B3. Intangible assets (continued)
Retail
The goodwill associated with Retail mainly relates to the acquisition of NGC electricity and gas
business ($102.6m) in 2002 and 2003 and the LPG business from Nova Energy ($112.6m) on 1 June
2017. 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 which takes into consideration short term climate related risks and opportunities. Cash flows
beyond the five-year business plan are extrapolated using a 2.0 per cent year-on-year growth rate.
The estimated future cash flow projections are discounted using a pre-tax equivalent discount rate
of 10.8 per cent.
In completing the impairment assessment, the Group has considered the medium to long term risks
and opportunities in relation to climate change on the Retail business. The speed of LPG and gas
sales decline along with shifting customer preferences is partially offset by the opportunities around
increased electricity demand from LPG and gas switching along with other electrification initiatives.
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.
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. In completing the
impairment assessment, the Group has considered the risk and opportunities in relation to climate
change on the Kupe business (in particular, the speed of gas and LPG sales decline and the ability
to access insurance). The pre-tax equivalent discount rate was 14.1 per cent (2023: 13.9 per cent).
Refer to note B2 for further information relating to the impairment of goodwill.
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 twenty 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.
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 19.4 to 113.5 PJe
(2023: 62.8 to 184.0 PJe). Refer to note B2 for further information on the reserves estimate and
impairment relating to the customer contracts and relationships.
Amortisation of customer relationships related to the Nova acquisition are recognised in the income
statement on a diminishing value basis over the estimated life of the relationship to reflect the likely
churn of customers. The remaining useful lives of these assets at 30 June 2024 is 26 years.
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
three years.
Deferred customer acquisition costs
Customer acquisition costs that are directly attributable to securing a particular customer contract
are capitalised and amortised over the expected customer tenure (30 months). Amortisation of
these costs is included within operating expenditure.

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
final closing price. 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.
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 $119.4 million (2023: $9.4 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 $15.0 million
(2023: $21.4 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.

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.

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 35 years.
Key estimates and judgements
The key assumptions that could have a material impact on the Kupe production facility rehabilitation
estimate relate to: the level of remediation required; 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 may increase by $11.4 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 third
party entities. If the costs could be shared with other entities the provision may decrease by up
to $11.7 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 estimated cost may increase the provision by $21.1 million. The rehabilitation is estimated to be
completed in approximately 12 years.
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 Rankine units, 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 Rankine units but these cannot be reliably estimated
at this time.

The Group has a 46.0 per cent interest in the Kupe production facility and Petroleum Mining Permit
38146 held by the Kupe Joint Venture (2023: 46.0 per cent) through its wholly owned subsidiary
Kupe Venture Limited. The principal activity of the Kupe Joint Venture is petroleum production and
sales. The Joint Venture is unincorporated and operates in New Zealand. 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 in its participating interest in the joint venture (together with certain related assets
e.g. its petroleum derived from operations under the JVOA), in favour of the other joint venture
parties. If a joint venture party defaults in the performance of an obligation to pay an amount due
and payable under the JVOA, the appointed agent may enforce on behalf of the non-defaulting joint
venture parties, the security interests created by the Deed.
The Group has a 60.0 per cent interest in a Joint Venture Arrangement for the development of
solar generation (2023: 60.0 per cent). The principal activity of the Solar-gen Joint Venture is
the development of up to 500MW of solar. The Solar-gen Joint Venture is unincorporated and
operates in New Zealand. 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.
The Kupe Joint Venture and Solar-gen Joint Venture are classified as joint operations 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 and the operating results of the Solar-gen

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.
Under the Group's debt funding facilities, the Group has given undertakings that the ratio of debt to
equity will not exceed a prescribed level and the interest cover will not be below a prescribed level.
For the purpose of these undertakings the capital bonds and related interest costs are treated as 50
per cent equity. The covenants are monitored on a regular basis to ensure they are complied with.
There were no breaches in covenants during the year (2023: none).

Borrowings
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.

E5. Borrowings (continued)
Capital bonds
On 30 June 2023 the Group exercised its right to
redeem $240.0 million of fixed rate subordinated
capital bonds with an original maturity date
of 17 July 2048. The capital bonds, redeemed
in July 2023, were replaced by $240.0 million
unsubordinated green capital bonds with a
maturity date of 10 July 2053. This issue pays a
quarterly coupon of 6.50 per cent per annum. On
the first reset date and every five years thereafter,
the interest rate will reset to be the sum of the
five-year swap rate on the relevant reset date
plus the margin of 1.95 per cent per annum plus
the step-up margin of 0.25 per cent per annum.
The next interest rate reset date is July 2028.
Issue costs are amortised over five years to the
first reset date. Interest rate swaps have been
used to manage the fair value risk of the bonds.
The FY52 green capital bonds have a principal
value of $285.0 million. The interest rate on the
capital bonds resets every five years, the next
interest rate reset is June 2027.
The net proceeds of the green capital bonds are
notionally allocated to refinance eligible assets
consistent with the Green Bond Principles issued
by the International Capital Market Association.
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.
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.
Commercial paper
In the 2021 financial year a commercial paper
programme was 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.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 middle office function.
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 in this section:
Market risk
Nature and exposure to the GroupNoteHow the risk is managed
Price risk
The Group is exposed to movements in the price
of electricity arising through the sale and purchase
of electricity to and from the market, movements
in the price of light crude oil arising from oil sales,
movements in the price of coal arising from coal
purchases, movements in the price of emission units
and movements in the global methanol price arising
for methanol index linked gas purchases.
F2
The Group aims to hedge price risk on electricity sales and forecast generation volume,
oil sales, coal purchases and emission unit purchases to satisfy obligations under the
New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Electricity price risk is managed with
electricity derivative contracts, including but not limited to swaps, futures, options and
PPAs. Oil and coal are hedged using derivatives. Emission units are hedged with forward
and spot purchases, as well as direct investment and arrangements with forestry entities.
The Trading Limits and Thresholds Standard sets overall levels for hedge positions
across electricity, coal and ETS obligations. Electricity hedging focuses on the Group's
net exposure to electricity prices over a four to five-year period. Coal hedging manages
stockpile levels and forecast import price risk over a three-year period. Carbon hedging
focuses on managing price risk relating to the ETS units exposure on purchased coal
and gas.
The Treasury Policy requires hedging oil price risk within certain policy bands.
The level of exposure to methanol is monitored.
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,
fuel purchases and oil sales) in accordance with the Group's Treasury policy. Foreign
exchange spot, forwards, deposits and options can be used to hedge the value back
to NZDs.
Overseas borrowings
The Group uses CCIRS to manage foreign exchange risk on foreign currency 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 financial collateral 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 or fair
value hedges.
For cash flow hedges 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.
For fair value hedges 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 ('market making');
derivatives held for proprietary trading activities
where trades are entered into speculatively
for the purpose of making profits in their own
right ('proprietary trading'); 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 are entered into to manage the variability of cash flows from electricity purchases
and sales. Oil price swaps are entered into to manage the variability of cash flows from oil sales.
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 where they are hedge accounted and realised gains and losses
on oil price swaps are recognised in oil revenue where hedge accounted.
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 price swaps ineffectiveness
arises primarily due to discounts on oil sales (the hedged item) that are not present in the hedging
instrument.

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.
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.
The nominal value at balance date of non-hedge
accounted foreign exchange contracts was $1.9
million (2023: $nil) and the net carrying value
was $0.2 million (2023: $nil).

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. 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 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 $243.8 million electricity swap and option and PPAs net asset comprises a $22.9 million
liability classified as level two and a $266.7 million asset classified as level three (2023: $12.2 million
asset and $95.8 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
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'), the probability of the underlying plant construction proceeding, the
most likely operations commencement date, '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. 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.

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.

G1. Share-based payments
During the year, the Group operated two share-based payment plans (Performance Share Rights
Plan ('PSR') and Talent Retention Plan ('TRP')) 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 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).
During the year, the Crown received $86.6 million in dividends (2023: $95.5 million) of which
$65.7 million was paid in cash (2023: $74.6 million) and $20.9 million was paid in shares (2023:
$20.9 million). The Group is 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 notes A1 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 (2023: nil).
The Group has three significant electricity swap and option contracts with Meridian Energy,
a Crown-controlled entity. The electricity swap and option contracts profile and period vary
between the range of 17.1MW and 51.3MW, from the period 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2025.
Additionally, the Group has two significant power purchase agreements with Mercury NZ, a
Crown-controlled entity. The agreements are for variable volumes based on the production of the
related site, with the latest expiry date being August 2045.
Approximately 17.4 per cent of the value of electricity derivative assets and approximately 13.1 per
cent of the value of electricity derivative liabilities at year end are held with Crown-controlled and
related entities (2023: 13.1 per cent and 12.4 per cent respectively). The contracts expire at various
times; the latest expiry date is August 2045.

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 it 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:

PSR
The PSR plan commenced in the 2020 financial 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, an absolute TSR hurdle compared against the cost of equity and for FY23
onwards performance against the Groups science based targets). 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.

G5. Contingent assets and liabilities
The Group had contingent liabilities at 30 June 2024 in respect of:
Land claims, lawsuits 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 resumption claims to the
Waitangi Tribunal and in certain cases may be subject to binding orders by the Waitangi Tribunal that
the Crown resumes the land for the purposes of addressing a well-founded Treaty of Waitangi claim.
Genesis notes that it would not have any standing to be heard in any Waitangi Tribunal hearing nor
does the Tribunal have to have regard to any changes to improvements that have taken place since
the transfer to ECNZ. Should the Waitangi Tribunal make an order for resumption 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 (2023: nil).
G6. Subsequent events
The following events occurred subsequent to balance date:
• $75.8 million of dividends were declared on 21 August 2024 (refer to note E4);
• On 15 August 2024, the Group signed a conditional sale and purchase agreement for a 127MWp
consented solar development site. The agreement is subject to conditions being met and is
expected to complete in FY25;
• On 21 August 2024, the Group signed a supply contract for a 100MW/200MWh Battery Energy
Storage System to be located at Huntly Power Station.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To The Shareholders Of Genesis Energy Limited
Auditor General
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Genesis Energy Limited and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’).
The Auditor-General has appointed me, Silvio Bruinsma, 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 72 to 110, that
comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2024, 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 material accounting policy 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 2024, and its consolidated financial
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New
Zealand Equivalents to IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the External Reporting Board and
IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
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 assurance assignments in the areas of trustee reporting,
greenhouse gas inventory & sustainability linked loan assurance, review of the interim report, non-
assurance services for the Corporate Taxpayer Group and HR training 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 $17.6 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.

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 2024 was $3,628.7 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.
The valuation also reflects demand assumptions which include those arising from 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 2024, derivative assets were $464.3 million and derivative liabilities were $148.5 million as
set out in note F1 of the consolidated financial statements.
A number of the Group’s derivatives are valued using standard valuation techniques based primarily
on observable inputs. However, some electricity swaps, options and PPAs 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 three’ valuations.
At 30 June 2024, the Group had a net $266.7 million asset of derivatives considered to be within level
three.
We included the valuation of level three 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 three 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 three 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Other Information
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Integrated 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 IFRS Accounting
Standards and IFRS Accounting 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 information
This section of the Annual Report provides
information on Directors' independence,
committees, fees and diversity and inclusion,
Executive remuneration and other activities.
Genesis' governance framework is guided
by the principles and recommendations
described in the NZX Corporate Governance
Code. Genesis considers it has followed these
recommendations in all material respects during
FY24 and as at 30 June 2024¹. Genesis has
reported in detail against the NZX Corporate
Governance Code in its separately published
Corporate Governance Statement, which,
together with other detailed information on
Genesis’ Board of Directors, Executive Team
and corporate governance policies (including
those in the table on this page), practices
and processes, can be viewed on the Genesis
Governance section on the Genesis website
(www.genesisenergy.co.nz/ investor/corporate-
governance).
Director independence
Details of the current directors are set out
on page 57. The Board has assessed the
independence of each of the Directors in
accordance with the NZX Listing Rules and
has concluded that none of the Directors has
a ‘disqualifying relationship’ as that term is
defined in the NZX Listing Rules. All of the
Directors are therefore currently considered to
be independent Directors as none of them are
executives of the Company or have any direct

reasonably influence, or could reasonably be
perceived to influence, in a material way, their
decisions in relation to the Company. See the
Corporate Governance Statement for more
detail on Director independence.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy and
gender composition
Genesis’ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Policy records the Company’s commitment
to an inclusive workplace that embraces
and promotes diversity through a number
of initiatives, including a focus on equal
opportunity. Genesis has sought to establish
measurable objectives for achieving diversity,
including gender diversity, as part of its annual
assessment of its diversity objectives for FY24.
The Board is comfortable with the Company's
FY24 performance with respect to its Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion Policy and objectives.
In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 3.8.1 (c), as
at 30 June 2024:
• Three out of seven Genesis Directors were
women (FY23: three out of seven).
• Three out of seven officers² were women
(FY23: four out of eight).
1 During the year the Company has not complied with Recommendation 3.6 (takeover protocols) of the Code due
to the Crown's share ownership in the Company making it practically impossible for a takeover offer to be made.
The Company has also not previously published a standalone remuneration policy for its Executives as required by
Recommendation 5.2 (Remuneration) of the Code, because the Company's Remuneration Policy contains sensitive
commercial information. Pages 116 to 122 set out Genesis Energy's approach to remuneration for the Chief Executive
Officer and the Executive Team, and further information is set out in the Company’s Corporate Governance Statement.
Board skillsets
The Genesis skills matrix sets out the skills
necessary on the Board for the Company’s
success. The skills matrix, which is set out on

expertise and secondary skills among Directors.
All Directors held at least a basic level of
expertise in relation to all of the required
skillsets.

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION
Executive remuneration
This following Remuneration Report sets out
Genesis Energy’s approach to remuneration for
the Chief Executive and the Executive Team,
and remuneration information for the year
ended 30 June 2024.
Role of the Human Resources and
Remuneration Committee
The Human Resources and Remuneration
Committee assists the Board in the discharge
of the Board’s responsibilities and oversight
relative to the Company’s human resources
strategy and policy, the Company’s Diversity
and Inclusion Policy, and the remuneration and
performance of the Company’s Chief Executive
and senior executives.
The Committee is authorised by the Board to
obtain such outside information and advice
including market surveys and reports, and to
consult with such management and executive
search consultants and other outside advisers
with relevant experience and expertise, as it
deems necessary for the carrying out of its
responsibilities.
Remuneration framework
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.
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 Team,
with the Board approving the Chief Executive's
remuneration.
Employee remuneration is also discussed in the
Company's Corporate Governance Statement
which can be viewed at www.genesisenergy.
co.nz/ investors/governance/documents.
Remuneration elements
Total remuneration for the Executive Team is
made up of fixed remuneration, short-term
incentives and long-term incentives. These
elements are designed to balance attraction
and retention, and motivate and reward the
Executive Team for the achievement of key
tactical and strategic outcomes together with
shareholder value creation.
Remuneration ElementElement StructureRole of the Element
Fixed Remuneration:
Base salary and benefits
including KiwiSaver, and
insurances such as medical
and life.
Set based on capability,
behaviours, performance and
industry benchmarks.
Key element to attract and
retain key talent to deliver
short term results and long
term strategies.
Variable Remuneration – At Risk Remuneration
Short Term Incentive
Annual cash based Short
Term Incentive (STI).
STI is set annually as a
percentage of the Executive’s
fixed remuneration to target the
third quartile of the comparator
group.
80% of the STI is linked to
Company performance targets
and 20% is linked to individual
performance targets.
A pay for performance
component designed to
attract and retain high
calibre executives and
motivate and reward
performance in a single
financial year using a
combination of Company
and individual performance
measures linked to core

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024INTRODUCTIONOUR PROGRESSPEOPLEPROFITFINANCIALSSUSTAINABILITYGOVERNANCEPLANETGOVERNANCE
EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION
FY24 STI scorecard structure
Safety performance and financial
performance: 40% of the Company KPIs
are based on the achievement of financial
performance and increasing health and safety
outcomes across the business. This approach
allows the Board to overlay subjective and
objective measures of health, safety and
wellness outcomes against the objective
financial performance. The weighting of 40%
ensures the Executive Team’s focus on these
important outcomes.
Technology: 20% of the Company KPIs are
based on progressing key technology plans.
This includes two measures: the progress of
Genesis master technology plan and projects,
and progress on the replacement of our core
retail technology platform.
Long term strategy on decarbonisation:
40% of the Company KPIs are based on the
development and agreement of long term
strategies in four key pillars: Huntly Strategy,
Customer Strategy, FutureGen Pipeline, and
Beyond FY25 Decarbonisation.
Individual objectives: Each Executive also
has individual objectives that make up 20% of
the STI goals. These will be set by the Human
Resources and Remuneration Committee for the
Chief Executive and by the Chief Executive for
all other Executives. Typically, each Executive
will have up to four goals, a personal target, a
leadership target and operational targets linked
to a clear measurable end of year deliverable.
The Board retains some discretion over the final
STI outcome.
Changes to the STI plan
The FY25 scorecard structure for the executive
team has been revised to better reflect Genesis’
Gen-35 strategy.
Financial performance: 40% of the Company
KPIs will continue to be based on the
achievement of financial performance.
People, culture, brand and customer: 10% of
the Company KPIs will be based on customer
engagement, employee engagement and safety
and wellness.
Huntly Portfolio: 20% of the Company KPIs
will be based on the progress of Battery Energy
Storage System, Rankine Strategy, and the
development of the Huntly portfolio master
plan.
Renewables: 20% of the Company KPIs will be
based on the development of Solar and Wind
pipeline options.
Business transformation and technology:
10% of the Company KPIs will be based on the
delivery of the replacement of our core retail
technology platform, together with progress on
other core technology replacement projects.
The executive Long Term Incentives (LTI)
LTIs are also ‘a pay for performance’ component
designed to align rewards for the Executive
Team with shareholder value over a three-year
period. Genesis’ LTI scheme was reviewed,
and a new performance share rights plan
established in FY20 to ensure Genesis
continues to attract, retain and motivate high
calibre Executive Team members to drive
outstanding outcomes for our customers and
our shareholders.
Under the LTI plan, members of the Executive
Team 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 beginning of the vesting period. The
Executive may also receive additional share
Remuneration review completed by the
Chief Executive recommends performance
outcomes and changes to the Executive Team's
remuneration. The Committee reviews and
approves the performance and remuneration
appraisals of the Executive Team, with the Board
approving the Chief Executive's remuneration.
Fixed remuneration consists of base salary
and benefits. For the Executive Team, Fixed
Remuneration is targeted to be in the third
quartile of the market benchmarked to a
comparator group of companies with a
comparable scale of revenues and market
capitalisation value to Genesis. The comparator
group companies are broadly evenly weighted
between larger and smaller companies relative
to Genesis Energy. The Human Resources
and Remuneration Committee reviews the
comparator group from time to time and
external benchmarking is commissioned by the
Committee to be carried out independently by
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Short Term Incentives (STIs) are ‘a pay
for performance’ component designed to
motivate and reward individual and Company
performance. The target value of an STI is set
annually as a percentage of the Executive’s fixed
remuneration. For FY24 the target for the Chief
Executive was 45%, and for other Executives
was between 30% and 45%. The performance
measures to achieve the STI are then set across
Company Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for
EBITDAF, health and safety, long term strategy
on decarbonisation, strategic technology
project delivery 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 0% for below threshold performance,
to 150% for outstanding performance.
rights representing the estimated value of
dividends to be paid over the vesting period.
The vesting of share rights is subject to
meeting performance hurdles (set at the
time of grant), at which point each share
right is converted to one ordinary share.
The assessment of the performance hurdles
occurs as soon as reasonably practicable
following the assessment date – usually 30
June – and approval by the Board of the
Company’s financial statements relevant to
the LTI plan. Any performance rights that
do not vest on the assessment date will
automatically lapse. The Executive is liable
for tax on any shares received.
Under the LTI plan, grants are made annually
with performance measured over a three-
year period. The Board retains discretion
over the final outcome.
In FY24, LTI grants were made to the
Executive Team and the value of the
grants was set at a percentage of fixed
remuneration between a range of 25% to
45%.
The performance hurdles set for the FY24
grant are set out on the following page:

Total remuneration earned by, or paid to the Chief Executive for FY23 and FY24 is as follows
The Base Salary is inclusive of holiday pay paid as per New Zealand legislation. Benefits are employer contributions towards KiwiSaver on the base salary, and short-term incentives (STI).
The LTI value reflects the number of rights that have vested from the FY21 issue (35,066 of 280,521) at the 10-day volume weighted average price at closing on the 30 June 2023 ($2.72).
*In addition to the remuneration outlined above which was received in the period Tracey Hickman was Acting CEO, Tracey was also offered $500,000 in retention payments with $250,000 being paid in
FY24 and $250,000 payable FY25, together with$194,070 in sabbatical leave after the acting period was completed. The resulting total remuneration received was $1,261,046 excluding LTI received in FY23
which was in relation to the role of Chief Retail Officer.
Changes to LTI Plan
The master plan rules for equity-based incentive schemes have been updated to include Malice and Clawback provisions. In addition, for rights issued under the FY25 LTI plan, the number of Performance
Share Rights that vest under the relative TSR hurdle will depend on:
• the Company achieving a positive absolute TSR for the Performance Period (TSR Gate); and
• if the Company passes the TSR Gate, the Company’s TSR performance over the Performance Period relative to the TSR of the Company’s closest NZX-listed peer companies: Meridian Energy Limited,
Mercury NZ Limited, Contact Energy Limited and Manawa Energy Limited.

DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
Director remuneration
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.
Directors’ fees were last approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2021 Annual Shareholder
Meeting. Shareholders approved an increase in the total annual pool for Directors’ remuneration of
$132,950, from the $940,000 pool approved at the 2016 Annual Shareholder meeting, to $1,072,950,
with the increase taking effect from 1 November 2021. Table 1 sets out how the approved pool has
been allocated.
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 2024.
Director remuneration is also discussed in the Company's Corporate Governance Statement which
can be viewed at www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investor/corporate-governance/governance-documents.
Directors received no remuneration or other benefits during the period in relation to duties as
Directors of a subsidiary.
Details of Directors of subsidiary entities forming part of the Genesis Group are set out in the
Statutory Disclosures on page 125.
All Directors (and, for completeness, all the Executives) received the benefit of an indemnity from
Genesis and the benefit of Directors and Officers liability insurance cover.
The cover extends to liabilities to persons (other than the Company and its subsidiaries or related
bodies corporate) that arise out of the performance of their duties as Directors, unless the liability is
prohibited from being insured against by law or relates to fraudulent conduct.
Remuneration of Company employees, including those acting as Directors of subsidiary companies,
is disclosed in the relevant banding on page 122.

1. Message from the Chair and Chief Executive
To reach net zero 2050,
New Zealand must deliver the
60 – 95 – 100 formula by 2050. At
least 60% of New Zealand’s energy
needs to come from electricity,
at least 95% of that needs to be
renewable and electricity needs to
be available 100% of the time.
Our Gen35 strategy, released in FY24, outlines
how we will take action over the next 10 years
to reduce emissions by growing renewables,
supporting our customers to electrify, and
managing increasing energy demand, while
ensuring our customers have stable, reliable
and cost-effective energy.
Climate change legislation set net zero 2050
as the destination for New Zealand’s transition.
To achieve that, New Zealand homes and
businesses need to commit to how they will
reach at least 60% electrification by 2050.
Energy is a common factor in all prosperous
and thriving societies. Access to a reliable
and affordable supply of electricity is important
in growing people’s confidence to continue
to electrify more of their lives and businesses
and to see renewable electricity as both an
economic and social development platform.
Genesis Energy Limited (Genesis) plays a
key role in New Zealand’s transition. We will
continue to help our customers decarbonise
to reach the electrification goal and we will
deploy over $1 billion of our capital to help
deliver new renewable generation and grow
our EBITDAF. As the renewable energy supply
grows, we expect Huntly Power Station will
evolve to become the Huntly Portfolio. It will
play a unique and critical role in ensuring the
uninterrupted availability of electricity and will
increasingly be powered by biomass with grid
scale battery backup.
In FY24, our emissions increased compared
to FY23. With hydro levels dropping back
from last year’s near historic levels, the
unexpected outage of Unit 5 and gas supply
constraints, meant we relied on more coal
generation. Unfortunately right now less gas
means more coal. We look ahead to winter
2024 with some caution. At the time of writing,
national hydro storage is fluctuating, and gas
supply is tight, and is likely to be so for the
next few years. Our thermal assets may be
relied upon again to support our customers
and the wholesale market, highlighting again
the importance of thermal generation to
system security.
At the same time, we continue to decarbonise
our portfolio with construction starting on our
first solar farm through a joint venture with FRV
Australia, and we have progressed sourcing a
sustainable supply of biomass to displace coal.
Our planned battery storage units at our
Huntly site would also reduce the need for
gas and coal generation during times of peak
demand. While our emissions reductions may
vary year to year, the importance lies in our
direction of travel over time.
Malcolm Johns
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Barbara Chapman CNZM
CHAIR
Given the scale of the challenge, it is clear we
need to work together in genuine long-term
partnerships with industry, government, and
households to deliver the change the country
has committed to. We will not always agree
but where we can find consensus, we will
seek to move forward together both across
and beyond our own sector to ensure progress
while providing Genesis shareholders returns
as Genesis and New Zealand transition to a
renewable future.
Transparency is important to our investors,
lenders and other creditors. Genesis is pleased
to release its inaugural Climate Statement
prepared under the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013.
Through collaboration and partnerships, we are
tackling the next frontier of climate action to
give ourselves the best chance of ensuring the
benefits of a lower emissions future are shared.
As a key enabler of New Zealand’s transition,
with assets that provide security of supply at a
period when generation becomes increasingly
renewable and intermittent, we welcome the
opportunity to share our analysis of our
climate-related risks and opportunities, and
how our strategy is responding accordingly.
Malcolm Johns

Genesis has a unique role to play in 60 – 95
– 100 to support the country’s transition to
net zero 2050 and reduce our greenhouse
gas emissions to help address climate change.
This role is integral to our purpose: powering
a sustainable and thriving Aotearoa.

2. About this report
Reporting entity
Genesis is a Climate Reporting Entity (CRE) under the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013 and as such is required to prepare a
Group Climate Statement. This report includes climate-related
disclosures for Genesis, its subsidiaries, controlled entities
(together, ‘Genesis’ or the ‘Group’) and the Group’s interests in
associates and joint arrangements where relevant. The Group
structure used in this report aligns with that used for Genesis’s
FY24 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Basis of preparation and
statement of compliance
These climate-related disclosures comply with Aotearoa
New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS) as issued by the
External Reporting Board (XRB).
In preparing these climate-related disclosures, Genesis has
elected to use adoption provision 2: Anticipated financial
impacts contained within NZ CS 2. This adoption provision
exempts Genesis from disclosing the anticipated financial
impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities reasonably
expected by Genesis, the time horizons over which they could
reasonably be expected to occur and why quantitative
information is unable to be provided.
This report was authorised for issue, for and on behalf of the
Board on 21 August 2024.
Barbara Chapman Catherine Drayton
CHAIR OF THE BOARD CHAIR OF THE AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE
Reporting period and currency
This report covers the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024
(FY24). FY23 refers to the period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023,
similarly for any other financial year referenced in this report.
Any reference to $ in this report refers to New Zealand dollars.
Materiality
Information required by Aotearoa New Zealand Climate
Standards must be disclosed if it is material; this requires us to
apply our judgement when determining what to disclose. The
Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standard NZ CS 3 states that
‘information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it
could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that
primary users make on the basis of an entity’s climate-related
disclosures’. NZ CS 3 defines primary users of this report as our
existing and potential investors, lenders, and other creditors.
To aid with making materiality judgements, we determine
materiality by considering internal and external factors, such
as whether the matter:
•
Could plausibly have a material impact on Genesis in the
short, medium, and/or long-term;
•
Could reasonably be expected to influence an
investment decision;
•
Has been consistently raised by our primary users or is
considered of high interest to them or is something they
would expect to see being disclosed;
•
Could have a significant impact on our reputation or our
transition to a lower emission future; or
•
Is relevant and needed to provide context.
When disclosing current impacts, we apply the same
materiality as applied by our auditors for the Consolidated
Financial Statements (refer to Deloitte’s Audit Report in the
FY24 Integrated Report).
The quantitative threshold used for our Consolidated Financial
Statements is not considered appropriate when determining
which climate-related risks and opportunities should be
disclosed given: (i) we are considering the potential impact
over multiple years out to 2050; (ii) the size of our balance sheet;
and (iii) the complexity of our operations.

This report contains forward-looking statements, such as
potential impacts, climate scenarios, targets, forecasts and
statements of our current intentions. Forward-looking
statements are statements that are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are reasonable
under the circumstances. They are statements regarding
our intent, belief or current expectations with regard to our
business and operations and other climate and sustainability
related commitments, targets, projections, scenarios, risk
and opportunity assessments, pathways, forecasts, metrics
and other proxy data.
Words such as ‘will’, ‘may’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘seek’, ‘would’,
‘continue’, ‘plan’, ‘estimate’, ‘potential’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’,
‘risk’, ‘aim’, ‘forecast’, ‘assumption’, ‘projection’, ‘target’, ‘goal’,
‘guidance’ or other similar words, are used to identify forward-
looking statements. These statements reflect our current views
on future events and are subject to change due to certain
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and
other factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control,
and have been made based on management’s expectations
or beliefs concerning climate change and the potential impact
on Genesis.
This report uses relatively lengthy time frames and plausible
scenarios to assess potential impacts. Statements in this report
use a greater number of assumptions and estimates than our
Consolidated Financial Statements. These assumptions and
estimates are subject to change over time, and, when coupled
with the longer time frames used in these disclosures, make
any assessment of materiality inherently uncertain. In addition,
our climate-related risk and impact assessment capabilities
and our strategic plan continue to evolve, and the
data underlying these and market practice in relation to
these disclosures also remain subject to evolution and
change over time.
The information in this report includes non-financial metrics,
estimates or other information that are subject to significant
uncertainties, which may include the collection of data, and
methodologies to analyse the data, which involves various
estimates and assumptions, and/or underlying data that is
obtained from third parties, some of which cannot be
independently verified. As a result, we expect that certain
disclosures made in this report may be amended, updated,
recalculated, and restated in the future as the quality and
completeness of our data and methodologies continue
to improve. For clarity, Genesis makes no commitment
to update the information in this report.
The forward-looking statements made in this report are not
guarantees or predictions of future performance and there
is a risk that estimates, judgements, assumptions, views,
scenarios or projections may turn out to be incorrect and that
these risks may cause actual outcomes to differ materially from
those expressed or implied in this report. In particular, there is
inherent uncertainty around future climate-related policy and
legislation, current scientific understanding of climate change
and its impacts.
Accordingly, Genesis gives no representation, warranty or
assurance (including as to the quality, accuracy or completeness
of any forward-looking statements set out in this report), that the
occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-
looking statement made in this report will occur.

Powering a sustainable and thriving Aotearoa
Genesis generates electricity from a diverse portfolio of assets in
New Zealand, including hydropower, wind and thermal generation,
and sells gas and electricity to commercial and retail customers.
Our purpose is ‘powering a sustainable and thriving Aotearoa’.
We’re striving to bring this to life through all parts of our business,
from the way we generate and supply electricity, to the way
we interact with mana whenua and iwi, customers, our people,
and wider communities, while at the same time caring for the
environment in which we operate and delivering returns to
our shareholders.
Embedding climate considerations
into how we do business
Genesis has committed to setting a net zero
emission reduction target in line with the
Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) Corporate
Net Zero guidance which provides companies
with a clearly-defined pathway to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions in line with limiting
global warming to 1.5°C temperature rise.
For Genesis, a net zero target under the
SBTi guidance is a commitment to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by more than
90 percent from a FY20 base year by 2040
(here in referred to as net zero 2040). We are
on track to submit our target for validation with
the SBTi in Q1 of FY25. The target will ensure
we measure our progress and hold ourselves
accountable to reduce our carbon footprint.
As New Zealand moves to a lower emissions
economy, we’re mindful of working with
communities connected to our assets,
employees whose jobs may be impacted
and customers in vulnerable circumstances
to ensure that the transition will be as smooth
as possible.
Through our Sustainable Finance Framework
we have embedded further accountability and
transparency. The Sustainable Finance
Framework includes targets for reducing our
emissions, increasing our renewable generation
capability, and creating education and
employment opportunities for young people
living in the communities that surround our
generation sites.
Addressing climate-related risks
and opportunities is central to our
organisational strategy
Climate change will drive New Zealand’s and
global decisions on how we live and work in
the years to come. The scale of change will
be significant, and Genesis has a role to play
as a key enabler in achieving a successful
transition to a lower emission future in
New Zealand. We recognise the impact of
climate change and support meaningful,
economy-wide planning to reduce emissions
and transition New Zealand to a lower
emissions future.
Our Gen35 strategy outlines how we are taking
action over the next 10 years to reduce our
emissions by growing renewables, supporting
our customers to electrify, and managing
increasing energy demand, while ensuring
our customers have reliable and cost-
effective energy.
With our diverse portfolio of generation assets
and our purpose of powering a sustainable
and thriving Aotearoa, we understand the
importance of New Zealand’s transition to
net zero 2050.
Decarbonising our activities and helping
our customers do the same will contribute
to a successful transition to a lower emissions
future. Transitioning to a lower emissions
business, while supporting New Zealand’s
transition will support ongoing earnings and
returns to Genesis shareholders.

4.2 Our business model
Genesis is a vertically integrated energy
business. Our operations include generation
and wholesale procurement of energy through
to the sale of energy to residential, business
and wholesale customers. We supply
electricity, LPG and natural gas to more than
496,000 customers in New Zealand through
two retail brands (Genesis and Frank*Energy)
and we own a 70% share of electricity retailer
Ecotricity and a 46% share of the Kupe Joint
Venture (JV), which owns the Kupe gas field
3
.
We operate a range of renewable and
thermal generation sites across the country
4
.
The geographic spread and diversity of our
generation assets provides vital support to
the country’s electricity sector. Genesis sits
at the intersection of supply and demand for
several energy sources as well as providing
some back-up generation for New Zealand’s
electricity supply when renewable sources
are unable to meet demand. The Huntly Power
Station sits at the centre of New Zealand
largest population centres and is critical to
ensuring security of supply to the country's
highly renewable electricity system.
Our vertically integrated gas portfolio
provides flexibility and security for our
customers. The Kupe gas field is also a
vital part of New Zealand’s energy system.
We remain focussed on evolving our business
model to integrate new grid technologies like
solar generation and utility scale batteries
alongside customer-side technologies including
electricity plans and offerings for EV owners,
other distributed resources, and electrification
opportunities, with the aim to continue
delivering cost effective and convenient energy
to New Zealanders in lower emission ways.
Genesis is a mixed ownership model company,
listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange and
the Australian Securities Exchange and is
majority owned by the Crown (51%). For further

Seventy three percent of our gross margin
came from the sale of electricity in FY24
(FY23: 78%). Due to the nature of the
New Zealand market, we generate electricity
using our thermal, hydro and wind generation
assets and sell it to the National Grid. This is
recorded as revenue by our wholesale segment
who then buys electricity from the National
Grid and sells it to our retail segment. Our retail
segment sells the electricity purchased to our
customers. This is recorded as revenue by our
retail segment. The electricity gross margin
combines the performance of our wholesale
and retail segments (essentially eliminating
these intersegment transactions).
Fifty five percent of electricity generated in
FY24 came from thermal
8
(FY23: 37%) and
45% came from hydros (FY23: 63%). Hydro
generation in FY24 decreased compared to
FY23 mainly due to below average flows
in FY24 compared with near record inflows
in FY23. Hydro inflows are significantly
impacted by acute weather events and
seasonal variations.
Thirty nine percent of our customer base in
FY24 used at least one fossil fuel (FY23: 39%)
and the majority of these customers use a
combination of fossil fuels and electricity
(FY24: 79%, FY23: 76%). Retail gas and LPG
sale volumes have remained relatively
consistent year on year.

Governance processes
and frequency
The Board and Audit and Risk Committee (ARC)
are engaged through a combination of formal
reporting, face to face meetings, educational
sessions, and sessions with the Chief Executive
and members of the Executive Leadership
Team (ELT). The Chief Executive and other
members of the ELT connect with the Board
and ARC each time the Board and ARC meet.
5.1 The role of the Board (continued)
Board skills and competencies
Directors are elected to the Board by
shareholders. The Nominations Committee,
a subcommittee of the Board, is responsible
for identifying and recommending suitably
qualified and experienced prospective
candidates to the Board for shareholder
approval. These nominations are presented
based on candidates meeting the agreed skills
matrix. The Nominations Committee holds the
authority to review and recommend changes
to the Director skills matrix should any be
required. These accountabilities are set out in
the Nominations Committee Charter. Refer
to the ‘Corporate governance’ section of the
FY24 Integrated Report for an assessment of
the Directors experience against the current
skills matrix.
The Board continues to expand its climate-
related knowledge through education sessions
and use of industry experts. For example,
during FY24 the Board, ELT, subject matter
experts and the Climate Working Group (CWG)
attended an in-house one-day climate transition
workshop to further build competency on
climate science, consider Genesis’ climate-
related risks and opportunities in the context
of our Gen35 strategy, and reflect on key
elements of a fair transition. The session
included presentations, question and answer
sessions with leading external experts and a
workshop analysing our climate-related risks
and opportunities.
Oversight of material climate-related
risks and opportunities
Our material climate-related risks and
opportunities are subsets of our principal risks
10
to our business. The ARC, a sub-committee of
the Board, oversee Management’s assessment
of principal risks on a half-yearly basis
11
.
Refer to section 6.1 for more information.
In FY24 we worked to develop a climate-
related risk and opportunity dashboard. This
dashboard enables us to monitor our material
climate-related risks and opportunities and was
incorporated into the quarterly risk reporting
and presented to the ARC for the first time
in June 2024. The value of the dashboard
will continue to grow each year it is used, we
will continue to refine it in FY25 and beyond.
The ARC is also responsible for overseeing
our climate reporting obligations, while the
Board is responsible for approval of the
annual Climate Statement. A climate specific
risk and opportunity review is completed
and reported to the ARC annually, along with
the approach taken with respect to climate
scenarios and scenario analysis. The ARC also
reviews the results of scenario analysis when
it is undertaken.
The ARC reports its findings and
recommendations to the Board for
consideration and approval throughout
the year.
The Board considers material climate-related
risks and opportunities as part of the annual
strategic and operating planning processes.
For example, considerations in the strategy
development process include key driving
forces of climate-related risks and
opportunities such government priorities
and regulatory change, change in consumer
demand and preferences, new technology
advances and competitor analysis.
Throughout the year the Board also receive
updates on various matters including strategic
initiatives which often address climate-related
risks and opportunities, progress on our
Sustainability Framework goals, consideration
of long-term decarbonisation commitments
and climate-related legal matters.
10. ‘Principal risks’ are the most important enterprise-wide risks,
as determined by the Board or ELT even if they do not
meet ‘materiality’ thresholds.
11. Only one assessment was completed in FY24 due to a refresh of
the Risk Management Framework.

5.1 The role of the Board (continued)
Integration with strategy
This year we have been getting ‘future fit’ by
reviewing our Risk Management Framework,
strategy and business model. Our refreshed
strategy, Gen35, establishes our strategic
direction for the next 10 years and was released
to the market on 30 November 2023
12
.
When setting strategy, incorporating the
impact of material risks and opportunities is
integral to the process. The diagram to the right
shows how material risks and opportunities
are integrated into the strategy setting
process. The risks and opportunities
considered include climate-related matters,
such as decarbonisation, emissions reduction,
electrification of current fuel uses, growing
demand for renewable electricity, and the
growing need for flexible electricity generation.
The strategy team are key members of the
Climate Working Group, which ensures
material climate-related risks and opportunities
are well considered as part of the strategic
planning process. In addition, subject matter
experts from within the business participate
in strategy setting workshops.
The Board reviews the Company strategy
annually, and more frequently if required,
to accommodate adjustments as needed
acknowledging the changing landscape
of both internal, and external influences.
Monitoring progress against
metrics and targets
Gen35 includes goals to be achieved for FY28
and FY35, which we monitor and report against
internally and we report against the FY28 goals
externally on a half yearly basis. Refer to
section 9 for progress against our goals.
Achievement of these goals have been
assigned to individual ELT members and
strategic initiative owners who, since the
launch of the Gen35 strategy, have established
metrics to monitor performance. The metrics
were reviewed and approved by the ELT as part
of the operating plan process in May 2024 and
will be reported to the ELT and Board on a
quarterly basis from July 2024.
In addition, as noted in the Board oversight
section on page 11, during the year we
established metrics to monitor material
climate-related risks and opportunities.
These metrics were incorporated into the
quarterly risk reporting and presented to
the ARC in June 2024.
Incentivisation and remuneration
The Human Resources and Remuneration
Committee, a subcommittee of the Board,
oversees the ELT remuneration, which include
incentives based on achievement of
decarbonisation related goals.
In FY24:
•
Between 32% and 37% of the ELT’s
(and Senior Leaders who qualify) short-
term incentive was based on achievement
of decarbonisation related goals. The
‘Executive remuneration’ section of the
FY24 Integrated Report provides a summary
of these goals.
•
20% of the ELT’s long-term incentive was
based on the achievement of two greenhouse
gas emission goals in FY26. The FY26 goals
are an extension to the FY25 targets
approved by the SBTi. Both goals must be
met in FY26 for the hurdle to be met.

Executive Leadership Team
Accountability for delivery of strategy and
operations lies with the ELT. Members of
the ELT are outlined on page 58 of the
FY24 Integrated Report.
The ELT has overall accountability for actions
and commitments to embed material climate-
related risks and opportunities into risk
management, and the strategic and operating
planning (budgeting) process. This includes:
•
Working jointly with the Board on strategy
development (which incorporates managing
climate-related risks and maximising
climate-related opportunities);
•
Successful execution and implementation of
the approved strategy including considering
and managing actual and emerging risks that
may impact achievement of the strategy;
•
Supporting and embedding the Risk
Management Framework and processes
including the three lines operating model;
•
Adhering to risk management processes,
including half yearly risk reviews, monitoring
the external and internal contexts for new
risks (including climate-related risks),
ensuring owners are identified for risks
and that the owners have appropriate
knowledge, authority and resources to
manage risks effectively;
•
Ensuring that risks, including climate-
related risks and opportunities, in their
business units are promptly identified,
understood, managed, monitored and
escalated appropriately;
•
Reviewing climate-related risk and
opportunity metrics;
5.2 The role of Management
•
Reviewing information provided by the
Climate Working Group on climate-related
risks and opportunities, scenarios, scenario
analysis and the Climate Statement; and
•
Reviewing updates on progress against
sustainability goals (which include science-
based targets) on a half-yearly basis.
During FY24, we clarified which ELT member
was accountable for each climate-related risk
and opportunity and which individual within
the business was responsible for managing
the risk/opportunity at an operational level and
reporting back to the accountable ELT member.
Many of the climate-related risks and
opportunities have been incorporated into
Gen35 strategic initiatives (refer to section 7.4).
Management forums, with ELT sponsors, have
been established to govern the execution and
implementation of Gen35 strategic initiatives.
A Gen35 scorecard as well as business unit
scorecards have been established to monitor
performance against Gen35.
The ELT is informed about, makes decisions
on and monitors climate-related risks and
opportunities at multiple levels within
Genesis, depending on how the risk or
opportunity is being managed. For example,
the ELT is informed about and makes decisions
on climate-related risks and opportunities
through the strategic and operating planning
process and monitors risks through quarterly
risk reporting (refer to section 6.1 for more
information). The table to the right
summarises how this works in practice.

Our approach to climate risk
Climate change presents risks and
opportunities for Genesis. We are focused
on integrating climate-related risks into our
internal processes.
Our Risk Management Framework which
is based on internationally recognised
standards and practices
15
, outlines how we
manage risks, including climate-related risks.
Our key activities in relation to the
identification, assessment, management,
and integration of climate-related risks is
provided below.
Risk identification
We use a range of tools and methods to
identify climate-related risks including:
1. Trend analysis
2. Internal stakeholder engagement
3. Exposure analysis
4. Scenario analysis
1. Trend analysis
Trend analysis is the process of analysing the
past to predict how the external environment
might impact the future. It was undertaken
during the year to monitor our risk landscape
and to identify current and emerging risks
within the industry, the wider economy, and
across international markets.
We utilised STEEP, a specific type of trend
analysis, focused on Social, Technological,
Economical, Environmental and Political
factors. STEEP analysis was undertaken as
part of our strategic planning process and our
climate scenario analysis. The output was a list
of driving forces and critical uncertainties.
Trend analysis is used to identify risks in
the short- and medium-term time horizons.
It is completed each time we refresh our
climate-related scenarios (refer to section
‘Climate-related scenario analysis’ on
page 20 for more information) and annually
for strategic planning purposes.
2. Internal stakeholder engagement
During the year we refreshed our approach
to risk management. We use a ‘top-down’ and
‘bottom-up’ approach to identify and assess
risks to our business.
The ELT completed the first ‘top-down’
review in March 2024. The review included
consideration of emerging issues
16
and risks
to achieving Gen35 and a refresh of principal
risks. Individual business units complete the
‘bottom-up’ assessment six monthly, most
recently in April 2024.
The Risk team consolidated the outcomes of
both approaches to provide a comprehensive
organisational view of Genesis’ risk profile.
This fed into the ELT’s second quarterly risk
review which was completed in May 2024,
the results of which were reported to the
ARC in June 2024.
In addition to the ‘top-down’ review and
‘bottom-up’ assessment, a series of climate-
related workshops were run with subject
matter experts across the business during
the year to identify and assess climate specific
risks and opportunities across our value chain.
The results of this work were reported to the
ELT and ARC in February 2024.
Internal stakeholder engagement is used
to identify risks in the short-, medium- and
long-term time horizons. Engagement
specifically focused on climate-related
risks is completed annually.
3. Exposure analysis
We conduct regular exposure analysis of dam
and reservoir infrastructure assets to explore
health, performance, capacity, and resilience
of our assets.
Dam safety and asset management plans
were reviewed and refreshed during the
year (refer to the risk ‘More frequent intense
rain events and flooding impacting hydro
generation’, in section 7.3 for more information
on asset management) and portfolio scenario
stress testing was completed quarterly.
In addition to this, in FY23 we engaged an
external consultant to undertake an initial
exposure analysis to identify potential physical
risks associated with our generation assets.
The results were received and analysed in FY24.
The analysis used multiple scenarios and time
horizons which were consistent with our
scenarios discussed in section 7.2.
This tool is used to identify risks in the short-,
medium- and long-term time horizons.
Exposure analysis is completed at various
frequencies depending on the nature of the
analysis being undertaken. Dam safety and
asset management plans are reviewed annually,
portfolio stress testing is completed quarterly
and analysis using international climate models
is updated when there is a material change in
climate science.

4. Climate-related scenario analysis
Scenario analysis is a tool used to explore the
impact of plausible future states, associated
outcomes and actions under uncertainty.
Through engagement with internal and
external experts we refreshed our climate
scenarios in FY23 to enable us to identify
material climate-related risks, support
strategic planning and decision-making
and test the resilience of our strategy to
climate change.
During FY24 we:
•
Developed a policy to guide when we
should update our climate scenarios and
scenario analysis. Key considerations
include but are not limited to material
developments or changes in our strategy,
operating model, organisational structure,
climate science
17
or any other new
information that suggests that revisiting
the scenarios would identify new material
risks or opportunities.
•
Reviewed the FY23 scenarios and
confirmed they were relevant for use in
FY24. Refer to section 7.2 for further detail
on the process undertaken in FY24 and the
intended approach for FY25.
Climate-related scenario analysis is used
to identify and assess risks in the short-,
medium- and long-term time horizons.
The insights gained from these tools and
methods were used to support the
assessment, management, monitoring
and reporting of risks, inform strategic
and operating planning, as well as inform
the review of climate-related risks
and scenarios.
6.1 Processes and frequency for identifying and assessing climate-related risks (continued)
Risk assessment
Climate-related risks are assessed and
prioritised using our enterprise risk matrix and
documented within our climate risk register.
The enterprise risk matrix used for climate
risks is the same matrix used to assess other
risks at Genesis.
The enterprise risk matrix considers the
likelihood of occurrence and the severity of
the consequence (size of potential impact),
which allows us to determine the appropriate
corresponding level of impact and response for
each risk. The enterprise risk matrix considers
not only the potential financial impact but also
the potential impact on operations, reputation,
compliance, the environment, and the safety
of our people.
One key difference between climate-related
risk and other risks is the ‘likelihood’ aspect
which is difficult to accurately quantify over
long-term periods associated with some
climate-related risks. Accordingly, greater
weighting is placed on the ‘consequence’
aspect of the risk matrix in comparison
to ‘likelihood’.
We assess the significance of climate-related
risks based on inherent risk, which ensures
an appropriate level of emphasis is placed
on mitigating the risks ahead of time.
Climate-related risks are updated and
presented to the ELT and ARC for review, and
to the Board for approval on an annual basis.
How we prioritise climate-related
risks relative to other types of risk
Climate-related risks are prioritised using
the enterprise risk matrix as outlined in the
previous section.
In addition to the standard risk assessment
process, climate-related risks are also
evaluated using a materiality assessment
process. This is due to the fact it is possible
that certain matters that are considered
‘highly material’ through the materiality
assessment could have been understated
through the standard risk assessment
(because of the pre-defined likelihood and
consequence criteria). Consequently, the
materiality assessment helps reprioritise risks
for consideration.
Proportionality is also considered when
deciding whether to prioritise climate-related
risks. The higher the likelihood and potential
impact of a climate-related risk relative to
other risks and the greater its potential impact
on other risks, the higher priority it receives.
As part of the risk rating process, Management
also considers vulnerability. If an asset is
considered highly vulnerable to the risk,
the impact rating is increased.
1 7. This includes consideration of changes in nationally and internationally recognised climate models used in the construction of our
scenarios (refer to section 7.2 for a summary of these).

How we manage our climate-related risks
Details on how we manage each of our material climate-related risks is contained in section 7.3.
Time horizons and how these link to strategic planning horizons
and capital deployment plans
The impact of climate-related risks is considered across short-, medium- and long-term time
horizons. The table below outlines the duration of each of these time horizons and how they link
to our strategic planning process.
Te r mPeriodRationale
Short1-5 years (2029)Aligns with the time horizon used for Genesis’
operating plan.
Medium6-15 years (2039)Closely aligns with the time horizon used for
Genesis’ corporate strategy (Gen35) which looks out
to 2035 and our commitment to net zero 2040 science-
based target.
Long16-26 years (2050)Aligns with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) findings that to limit the temperature
increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, emissions
would have to peak now and reduce by around half
by 2030, and globally net zero emissions need to be
attained by 2050.
The only exception to this was the length of time
considered for physical risks to our generation assets
which was considered through to 2100 to align with
their useful lives.
Capital deployment plans can be short, medium, or long-term depending on the nature of the
project, the expected return on investment period and the expected useful life of any assets that
are created. Some capital deployment plans such as our investment in solar generation assets use
slightly longer time periods (35 years rather than 26 years). In addition, the expected useful lives
of our hydro generation assets have much longer time horizons than used above. While this is the
case, the physical impact of climate change on these assets has been considered out to 2100 using
the three Representative Concentration Pathways used in our scenarios (refer to section 7.2).
6.1 Processes and frequency for identifying and assessing climate-related risks (continued)
Value chain exclusions
The risk tools we use consider potential risks across our value chain. Risks identified which
may directly impact us include areas such as supply chains, distribution and transmission
networks and customer demand as well as risks to our core business.
No parts of the value chain were specifically excluded from the process. As we enhance our
risk identification processes over time, it is expected that our consideration of our value chain
will continue to evolve and extend.

RISK MANAGEMENT
6
Climate-related risks are
managed throughout the business
in accordance with our Risk
Management Policy and Risk
Management Framework. The
Risk Management Framework
guides the integration of Genesis’
various risk requirements
into a cohesive whole, which
is particularly necessary for
a cross-cutting risk such as
climate change. The specific
ways in which climate-related
risk is integrated are outlined
in this section.
Alignment and planning
Our Risk Management Framework recommends
that risk management practices should be
tailored to the requirements and level of risk
being managed, where materially significant
risks (such as climate-related risks) warrant
more rigorous risk management practices.
The Risk Taxonomy explicitly identifies
climate-related risks (the separate aspects
of ‘transition’ and ‘physical’ risks).
The Risk Management Framework emphasises
the importance of materiality when considering
climate-related risks. When determining
whether a risk is considered material we
go beyond the standard likelihood and
consequence risk rating criteria and consider
the views of existing and potential investors,
lenders, and other creditors.
Furthermore, the Risk Management Framework
provides a specific process to integrate
strategy and risk; ensuring climate-related
risks are considered prior to strategy
formulation as well as in business planning.
The need for ‘outside-in’ and ‘inside-out’
thinking is encouraged to ensure we have
a more fulsome view of climate-related risks.
Climate change is considered a cross-cutting
risk because it impacts multiple risk categories
(such as reputational, environmental, financial,
and operational). Our risk appetite framework
and statement indicates where risk responses
need to be risk seeking versus risk averse.
As climate-related risks are cross-cutting risks
our risk appetite varies depending on the
nature of the risk. We have established a risk
appetite for each of our principal risks (which
encompass many of our climate-related risks).
Application and tools
Genesis uses a range of practices to address
the bespoke needs of climate-related risk
assessment and broader risk integration,
such as:
•
Scenario analysis (for different climate
scenarios) – which integrates with
strategy development; and
•
A bespoke risk register (for different time
horizons and climate related opportunities)
– which is integrated into the ‘top-down’
review and ‘bottom-up’ assessment.
Application also extends to adjacent risk
and resilience practices such as incident
management, business continuity,
and insurance.
Monitor, review and assurance
The Risk Management Framework requires
monitoring, review, and assurance activities
to align to the specific needs of the risks
involved. It also caters for the cadence of
specific governance review and assurance
requirements to ensure the Board and ARC
are kept informed of the status of all principal
risks including climate-related risks.
The management response applied to each risk
is influenced by the characteristics and impact
of such risk. Management may choose to either
maintain the existing response approach to
each risk or choose to avoid, mitigate, transfer,
or tolerate the risk.
Risk metrics for financial, operational, market
and climate-related risks are monitored and
reported quarterly to the ELT and the ARC.
Principal risks (which include climate-related
risks) are reviewed and reported quarterly to
the ELT and half-yearly to the ARC.

7.1 Current impacts
7. Strategy
Our operations and financial
performance in FY24 were
materially impacted by
three events:
1. The unplanned outage of Unit 5
2. Gas supply constraints
(transition impact) and
3. Below average hydro inflows
(physical impact)
The unplanned outage of Unit 5
was not climate-related, the gas
supply constraints and below
average hydro inflows are
discussed in more detail in
this section and section 7.3.
Gas supply constraints
The previous Government’s policy to ban new
gas exploration to support the transition to a
low carbon future, and onerous rehabilitation
provisions, have contributed to a lack of
investment in the oil and gas sector. This
in turn has contributed to the gas supply
constraints currently being experienced.
Gas supply constraints have impacted fuel
costs, which has had a knock-on impact on
wholesale electricity prices, thereby increasing
both wholesale electricity generation revenue
and wholesale electricity purchases.
The impact of the gas supply constraints on
EBITDAF in FY24 and on the valuation of our
thermal generation assets as at 30 June 2024
is outlined on page 38.
Gas supply constraints is expected to increase
gas prices in the short-term. This has had
a positive impact on the calculation of
the recoverable amount and subsequent
impairment of Kupe cash generating
unit (refer to note B2 of our Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information
on the sensitivity of the impairment
calculation to changes in gas prices).
Increased wholesale electricity prices have also
had a significant impact on the carrying value
of our hydro generation assets and electricity
swaps and options and PPAs, which are carried
at fair value on our balance sheet. The fair
value of hydro generation assets increased
by $473.3 million and electricity swaps and
options and PPAs increased by $135.8 million
(refer to note B1 and F1 in our Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information).
The increase in hydro generation assets was
recognised in the `Change in asset revaluation
reserve' line in the Consolidated Statement of
Changes in Equity. The majority of the increase
in electricity swaps and options and PPAs
($132.8 million) was recognised in the `Change
in fair value of financial instruments' line in the
Consolidated Comprehensive Income
Statement and $3.0 million was recognised in
`Change in cash flow hedge reserve' line in the
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.
It is not possible to isolate the impact of gas
supply constraints on the forecasted wholesale
price path and, as a result, we are unable to
quantify the financial impact of the gas supply
constraints separately from other changes in
fair value for these assets.
There was no material impact on our retail
business in FY24.
Below average hydro inflows
Hydro inflows into our catchments were below
average in FY24, following near-record levels
in FY23. There were periods in FY24 when
hydro generation could only run on minimum
flows. As hydro inflows are significantly
impacted by acute weather events and
seasonal variations, it is difficult to determine
if below average inflows in FY24 were due
to climate change or seasonal factors.
The impact of low hydro inflows on
FY24 financial performance is outlined
on page 33.
Other current impacts not
considered material
We have also provided analysis of the current
impact for each of our climate-related risks
and opportunities in section 7.3.
The only other impact identified in FY24,
but which is not included in section 7.3
relates to the increase in gas transmission and
distribution costs. Pricing for gas transmission
and distribution businesses is regulated by the
Commerce Commission which approves a
default price path for these entities to follow
every four years, with the last price path
set for the period from 1 October 2022 to
30 September 2026. When the last price
path was established in FY22, the Commerce
Commission allowed gas transmission and
distribution businesses to reduce the asset
lives from the physical life of their assets to
their economic life to mitigate the risk that
these businesses end up with stranded assets
as a result of the transition to a lower carbon
future. This increased transmission and
distribution costs by between 2.2% – 6.2%
per annum in real terms from 1 October 2022
to 30 September 2026. This increase has
been passed onto our retail customers as
end users and has not had a material impact
on EBITDAF in FY24.

Scenario analysis is a method of exploring the
impact of different plausible future states and
associated outcomes and actions under
uncertainty. During FY23 we undertook
scenario analysis to help identify material
climate-related risks and opportunities,
support strategic planning and decision-
making and test the resilience of our strategy
to climate change.
Using the process outlined in this section
we developed three plausible but distinctly
different future scenarios (Green tape, Energy
transformation and Hot house as described
on pages 22-24) to test the resilience of our
business model and strategy (refer to
Appendix I for a list of source data used
to construct each scenario).
We engaged PwC and West Nine Consulting
Limited to guide and support the development
of the scenarios and the scenario analysis. The
scenarios were reviewed by these experts and
business stakeholders to ensure coherency,
plausibility and that they were sufficiently
challenging enough to test the business model
and strategy under difficult circumstances.
The scenarios and the results of the scenario
analysis were reviewed by the ELT, ARC
and the Board.
7.2 Scenario analysis
The scenario analysis was completed through
the development of risks and opportunities,
risk mapping and qualitative analysis. No
quantitative modelling was undertaken.
The scenario analysis process was completed
as a standalone process. Management is
working to integrate this work into the strategic
planning process going forward.
The scenarios and scenario analysis developed
in FY23 were reviewed during the current
reporting period in accordance with our
Climate-related Scenario and Scenario Analysis
Policy. The review confirmed the scenarios and
scenario analysis were still relevant for the
current reporting period. We intend to refresh
our scenarios and scenario analysis in FY25
to incorporate the latest climate science
information expected to be released by Niwa
by the end of 2024, the energy sector scenarios
published in June 2024 and the latest Climate
Change Commission modelling released in
April 2024.
Scenario analysis process
1
Identified and prioritised
Key internal stakeholders identified and prioritised climate-related
risks and opportunities.
2
Developed focal question
We asked ourselves how climate change could plausibly affect our
business, what should we do and when?
3
Identified driving forces
We identified driving forces using the STEEP framework and we
prioritised them according to their influence and uncertainty.
4
Developed scenarios
We considered the implications of different social and economic
pathways with different global warming outcomes and used this
information to create three scenarios.
5
Determined impact
We considered the impact our material climate-related risks and
opportunities could have on our business over the short, medium and
long term (refer to section 6.1 for how these periods were defined) and
we qualitatively assessed the materiality of the impacts across each of
the three scenarios.
6
Assessed effectiveness of strategy
We qualitatively assessed how resilient each of our key revenue pools
were under each scenario, we considered how effective the company
strategy was to manage the risk/opportunity and we identified
considerations for the future.
