Fossil Fuel Electricity Generation in New Zealand

Despite this pivot, high wholesale prices have staved off recent revenue declines and provided a welcome relief for generators. Industry revenue has soared 8.3% over the past five years, including 8.4% in 2022-23 alone, reaching $1.3 billion, as profit hits 6.2%. Prices ballooned off the back of lower hydro output, outages and tight domestic gas supply. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has also boosted generation costs, with coal prices through the roof.
