Contact Energy Limited announced that it is set to supply Genesis Energy with renewable electricity for 15 years from 2025, as part of a new, long-term power purchase agreement after key terms signed 12 August 2021. The agreement will see Genesis take up to 62.5 megawatts of electricity, equating to 41% of the output capacity from Contact's geothermal power station being developed at Tauhara. The 152-megawatt power station is under construction and expected to be completed in the middle of 2023.
