Government announces New Zealand Energy
Package

Contact Energy Limited (Contact) acknowledges today’s announcement, by the New
Zealand Government, of steps it will take to support the energy transition.

The announcement has been made alongside the release of the Government-commissioned
Review of Electricity Market Performance prepared by global consultancy, Frontier
Economics.

“We support any initiatives that accelerate electrification and that explore opportunities to
manage the energy transition to a renewable future in an orderly way,” said CEO Mike Fuge.

“We will take time to review and consider the Government’s proposals over the coming
weeks. We welcome the clarity that today’s announcement has provided and look forward to
constructive engagement.”

In line with its strategy to be a leader in the decarbonisation of New Zealand, Contact is a
major contributor to energy investment, having committed more than $2 billion to building the
critical energy infrastructure New Zealand needs.
