Story Highlights
Genesis Energy and Partners Explore Extending Huntly Power Station Operations

Mercury NZ Ltd. ( (MGHTF) ) has shared an announcement.

New Zealand’s four largest electricity generators, including Genesis Energy, are exploring market options to bolster national energy security, following the supply challenges experienced during winter 2024 due to declining natural gas supply, low hydro lake levels, and low wind conditions. The companies have entered a non-binding agreement to investigate keeping Huntly Power Station’s Rankine Units operational beyond their planned retirement dates to manage dry-year risk and enhance system security, with potential arrangements to be in place by 2026, pending regulatory approvals.
