In July 2025, Contact completed its acquisition of Manawa Energy Limited, adding 25 hydro schemes and over 500MW of winter-weighted renewable capacity plus a 1,200MW development pipeline in wind and solar to accelerate decarbonisation, enhance hydro diversification across North and South Islands, boost fixed-price electricity offerings and expand its combined generation pipeline beyond 10TWh. The company targets net zero generation emissions by 2035 while maintaining a flexible fleet for energy security.
