and lower hydro.

•The Rankine units provided critical support to the market. Rankine

generation volumes were up 1,898 GWh relative to FY23.

•The increased thermal generation and higher fuel costs meant

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.

•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

1000MW of development opportunities across solar, battery and wind.

•Genesis has significantly grown our development team and built a

pipeline of opportunities for potential investment. Projects can be

delivered through PPA, joint venture or balance sheet development.

•Genesis continues to prioritise solar development due to speed to

market and lower development costs. Genesis remains on track for

delivery of up to 500MW of grid-scale solar generation by FY28.

•The economics of solar continue to improve, with declining solar panel

input costs and a firming of long-term electricity prices.

•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.

Growing Value from Gas

•The New Zealand gas market remains exceptionally tight, with prices

at record high levels. Genesis has recently secured additional gas

from Methanex.

•Genesis is actively participating in the gas security response group.

Genesis is considering options in relation to LNG offtake and the role

it could play in the Genesis portfolio.

•Estimates of the Kupe JV field reserves have been updated, with an

81.2 PJe2P decline in reserves estimate.

Tariki Gas Partnership

•Genesis has secured additional gas for the next two years, including 2

PJ from Tariki, which is subject to successfully drilling the Tariki-5 well.

If successful, this will commence Q2 FY25.

•The Tariki agreement provides Genesis with a 12-month exclusive right

to negotiate a gas storage development of up to 10 PJ. This could be

available from 2026.

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.

Our new Gen35 strategy leverages

our strengths to advance

electrification, flexibility and

renewables. We’re building additional

renewable generation capability and

redefining the role of our existing

generation capacity. We’re advancing

battery storage, biomass and solar,

while working with Government, our

customers, and our communities to

support the transition to renewables.

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.

We will continue to play a significant role

supporting the country’s transition to a low-

emissions economy, and have committed to a

science-based net zero 2040 target to support

New Zealand’s commitment to net zero 2050.

We acknowledge the impact our business has

on the environment and communities around

our generation sites, and strive for greater

sustainability in the broadest sense of the

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.

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.

Genesis’ role as a unique and vital partner in

New Zealand’s transition, both in the active

pursuit of sustainability and in providing

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

Our executive team is completing the

Te Kahikatea Programme with Mather

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

hourly rate minus the median female hourly rate, and dividing this by the median male hourly rate. Our Gender Pay Gap is largely made

up of the difference in career participation. A large proportion of specialist energy sector roles at Genesis are held by men. This is

particularly evident in engineering and technical roles. In addition, a large proportion of customer-facing roles, such as those in our

contact centres, are held by women. We are focused on improving gender balance in these areas. For data on our Pay Equity Gap and

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.

Brand updates

GENESIS

The Genesis brand campaign is continuing

to build momentum and its effectiveness is

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.

Brand love

among customers hit a new high

of 67% in January 2024.

Leveraging our brand strength and greater

customer demand, we now have the

foundation to grow value ahead of volume

in the years ahead.

Our customers

Our Genesis and Frank brands went from strength to

strength this year, increasing customer demand, brand

love , and winning awards. We continued to support

energy wellbeing through customer care programmes

and a collaborative research project.

Customers feel good about our EV efforts

Our energy plan for EV owners was a strong

performer this year, with a marketing campaign

effectively communicating its key benefits.

Customers feel good about Genesis moving

into this space, and it makes the brand more

appealing to businesses.

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.

We fixed invoice issues through an email

provider thanks to support from our data

engineering team.


We added a prompt to remind customers

to pay their current balance when setting

up a credit card payment.


We improved the Energy IQ dashboard

and information in the app.

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

to 52 from 46 in FY23. Customer feedback

showed we have a fiercely loyal base who

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.

40%

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.

Fresh Start is designed to support consistently

paying customers experiencing hardship for

the first time, perhaps due to job loss, illness,

relationship breakdown or other unexpected

events. Our team contacts them to provide

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

programme in four Ngā Ara schools – Te Kura

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.

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.

Research showed a lack of awareness of our

School-gen programme among teachers

and in October 2023 an engagement plan

and multi-channel campaign was launched

targeting teachers. As a result, we saw a 476%

increase in downloads of the free School-gen

resources compared with Q1 FY24.

Over the next year we will continue to develop

and enhance resources to align with changes

in the New Zealand curriculum, ensure the

resources remain relevant, and are easy to use

for teachers.

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

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

solar and  wind generation, power purchase

agreements and battery storage, up from our

present 3,250 GWh of generation and power

purchase agreements.

We are in a unique position to fulfil our purpose

of powering a sustainable and thriving Aotearoa. Our

assets enable us to provide peaking and firming support

to renewable generation, providing security of supply

for our customers when the wind doesn’t blow, the sun

doesn’t shine and hydro lakes are low.

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


The Gas Industry Company’s consultation

on advanced gas metering, and its FY25 levy

and work programme


The Climate Change Commission’s

consultation on the fourth emissions budget


The Ministry for the Environment’s

consultation on reviewing ETS settings


The Office of the Privacy Commissioner’s

consultation on biometric information

The Government Relations and Regulatory

Affairs team has helped the whole business

successfully navigate the change of

government following the 2023 election.

We’ve established constructive relationships

with new ministers and we’re optimistic

the Fast-track Approvals Bill will make it easier

to secure consent for upcoming renewable

energy projects.

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

WITH EV DRIVERS

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/

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.

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

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.

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.

11. Excludes 857 tCO₂e of CO₂ associated with the combustion of

biomass as this is required to be reported separately from scope

1 emissions under the GHG protocol.

12. Science Based Target.

13. Data is based on the financial year of each curtain bank, which

does not always align with Genesis’ financial year.

14. Power Shout gifting was launched in FY22. In FY24 28,978

customers gifted 144,890 Power Shout hours and Genesis

contributed 155,110 hours (FY23 28,847 customers gifted 144,235

Power Shout hours and Genesis contributed 155,765 hours,

FY22: 15,533 customers gifted 62,132 Power Shout hours and

Genesis contributed 67,868 hours).

15. There were five additional work experience opportunities

created in FY22 that were unable to be completed due to the

nationwide lockdown and restrictions applied by COVID-19. As

these opportunities were only partially completed they have not

been included in the reported number.

16. Genesis has supported internships, apprenticeships and

scholarships for a number of years, however the programme was

formalised under the Ngā Ara Creating Pathways programme in

FY21 and FY22.

17. FY21 funding was not completed until July 2021 (FY22), so no

equipment was gifted in FY21.

18. This metric was not reported in FY20.

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.

GENESIS INTEGRATED REPORT 2024INTRODUCTIONOUR PROGRESSPEOPLEPROFITSUSTAINABILITYGOVERNANCEPLANETFINANCIALS

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%.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Financial performance

SegmentActivity

Retail

Supply of energy (electricity, gas and LPG) and related services to end users

being Residential customers, Small & Medium Enterprises, Large Businesses

and customers of Frank Energy.

Wholesale

Supply of electricity to the wholesale electricity market, supply of gas and LPG

to wholesale customers and the Retail segment and the sale and purchase of

derivatives to fix the price of electricity.

Kupe

Exploration, development and production of gas, oil and LPG. Supply of gas

and LPG to the Wholesale segment and supply of light oil.

Corporate

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.

(continued)

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

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

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Valuation process

The team that carries out the valuations reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer. The results

and key drivers of changes in the valuations are reviewed at least six monthly for generation assets

and monthly for derivatives. The Chief Financial Officer reports key changes in fair value to the

Board. Any changes to the valuation methodology are reported to the Audit and Risk Committee.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

or indirect interests or relationships that could

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

the following page, shows a good spread of

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

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

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

CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Barbara Chapman CNZM

CHAIR

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.

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.

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.
