Manawa Energy: A Leading Renewable Electricity Generator in Aotearoa New Zealand

Manawa Energy stands as one of Aotearoa New Zealand's foremost renewable electricity generators and an independent power producer. The company is dedicated to developing sustainable generation assets, playing a crucial role in supporting the nation's ambitious transition towards a thriving, low-emissions, and climate-resilient future. With a significant focus on harnessing natural resources, Manawa Energy actively contributes to the rapid electrification occurring across New Zealand, addressing the increasing demand for renewable electricity.

Beyond its large-scale generation activities, Manawa Energy operates a robust commercial and industrial electricity business. This segment serves approximately 680 customers through more than 14,000 electricity connections nationwide, currently supplying an impressive 1,250 GWh of electricity annually. The company's operations underscore a strong commitment to safety for its staff, contractors, and the general public, while also fostering connections with the communities in which it operates.

As of July 11, 2025, Manawa Energy officially became a proud part of the Contact Energy whānau (family), following Contact Energy Limited's acquisition of all Manawa's shares through a scheme of arrangement. This integration further solidifies its position within New Zealand's energy landscape, continuing its mission to power a renewable future for the country.
