We’re proud to have been one of the Industry Sustaining sponsors for the NZSOLD (New Zealand Society on Large Dams) 2024 Symposium. This two-day Symposium in Wellington covered two important themes: ensuring safety and exploring engineering excellence. The event was attended by around 150 delegates from all parts of the dam industry across the country. NZSOLD was founded to advance the technology of dam engineering and supporting socially and environmental responsible development and management of water resources in New Zealand. We have a long relationship with NZSOLD. As one of the large corporate Members, we have representation on the Management Committee, and Andrew Balme, Genesis Engineering Manager—Civil & Dam Safety, is the current Vice-Chair.

We’ve partnered with Ecobulb Limited to help provide Kiwi households with more efficient lighting alternatives 💡 Currently, around 50% of households in New Zealand still have inefficient incandescent or halogen light bulbs. Over the weekend, eligible Christchurch customers of both Genesis and Frank Energy were invited along to get up to 5 free light bulbs to replace their old inefficient bulbs at home. These Ecobulbs last for up to 50 years and use up to 90% less electricity than the inefficient incandescent light bulbs they will replace. Customers will see a material cost reduction and a reduction of peak load for Genesis. 📸 The Genesis team helping customers redeem their free Ecobulbs.

We’re celebrating the first anniversary of helping Van Lier Nurseries Limited replace a gas-fired boiler with an electric heat pump, resulting in significant savings in energy use and carbon emissions reduction 🌹 In the 12 months since the heat pump’s installation, the nursery has seen a 61% reduction in energy use, equating to 9,295 GJ, and an 88% reduction in carbon emissions, or 773 tonnes*. With the challenges NZ faces around gas supply and cost certainty, Van Lier can operate with peace of mind thanks to a long-term electricity supply agreement with Genesis. Genesis is proud to have helped Van Lier achieve these savings by providing engineering, procurement and project management for the new heat pump, supplied on lease-to-own arrangement. The project was co-funded by EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority) and co-financed with New Zealand Green Investment Finance .

We are pleased to announce today that Genesis has taken a 65% shareholding in ChargeNet - EV Charging Solutions, New Zealand's largest nationwide electric vehicle (EV) public charging network 🚗 This strategic move positions Genesis as a key investor in the growth of the country’s EV market and the energy transition. Established in 2015, ChargeNet operates more than 400 public fast-charging points across the country, with over 90% of New Zealand’s EV owners registered as customers. With a strong development pipeline, ChargeNet is poised to drive further growth as New Zealand's shift toward sustainable transport gains momentum.

This partnership combines ChargeNet’s market leadership with Genesis’ energy expertise and customer reach, enabling us to play a leading role in shaping the future of transport in New Zealand. “With nearly 500,000 customers, Genesis can accelerate ChargeNet’s market leadership by utilising our energy management expertise, guiding larger customers through fleet transitions and ensuring we deliver the best charging network for the country’s EV drivers," Stephen said.
