Fossil fuel generators are contending with New Zealand's transition to renewable energy sources. 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%.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.Burnt out: 100% renewable electricity targets are a crude awakening for fossil fuel generators
