Genesis streamlines its retail business to accelerate Gen35 strategy
Genesis Energy (“Genesis”) is to consolidate its three retail brands, Genesis, Frank, and
Ecotricity, into a single, unified Genesis brand. This strategic move is designed to simplify the
customer experience, improve operational efficiency and accelerate the delivery of innovative
energy solutions.
Genesis’ Chief Revenue Officer Stephen England-Hall said the decision to focus on one brand for
all customers reflects the company’s Gen35 strategy of providing a stronger and simpler retail
offer that supports the customer-led transition to more renewable forms of energy.
“When we launched Gen35 we said we would create a future-fit, simplified retail structure,
focusing on fewer, more impactful benefits for customers. Streamlining Genesis to one brand
will enable us to efficiently deploy plans and products to best support our customers as the
country progresses toward net zero 2050.”
The consolidation will reduce duplication and complexity across customer service, technology
platforms, and back-office functions, enabling faster deployment of advanced capabilities such
as data analytics, AI, and portfolio optimisation, supporting a more agile and customer centric
business model.
“Our focus is on creating a modern, seamless energy experience for customers while
strengthening our ability to innovate and adapt in a rapidly evolving energy market,” said England-
Hall. “Bringing our retail brands together under one Genesis banner allows us to optimise
resources and deliver consistent, high-quality service across all customer segments.”
The Frank brand will be absorbed into the Genesis retail offering during the period from June to
September 2025. Customers will be offered the opportunity to transfer to Genesis if they wish.
Transfers will take place in September.
Ecotricity became fully-owned by Genesis in November 2024 when Genesis completed an
obligation to purchase the remaining 30% of Ecotricity not already held by the business. Ecotricity
products will continue in the market while plans are finalised to unlock value from the
acquisition. Its sustainability products and solutions will be offered to a larger pool of customers
through the Genesis brand.

“Customers will be communicated with clearly throughout the process,” said England-Hall. “The
unified brand will also support Genesis’s broader sustainability goals by better aligning retail
demand with renewable energy generation, contributing to New Zealand’s energy transition.”
