while all nz is struggling with power costs the power companies are ripping us off. Genesis Energy plans to increase its electricity prices for residential customers in January despite posting a 600% increase in its annual profit and signalling a further increase in its operating profit ahead.
Chief executive Marc England said it hadn’t yet decided how much prices would go up, as it would consider that strategically and make a call on that later this year.
Genesis posted a bumper $222 million profit for the year to the end of June, which was six times higher than its $32m profit the year prior and almost four times its $46m profit in 2020.

Fellow state-controlled ’gentailer’ Mercury Energy reported earlier this week that it had more than tripled its annual profit to $469m, with the largest of the gentailers, Meridian Energy, due to report its annual result next week.
