1.5°C
This company is on a 1.5°C pathway
Fossil Fuel Power Generation
Where companies source their power generation from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) to generate electricity.
CONTACT ENERGY LTD. Fossil Fuel Power Generation
Contact Energy is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest electric utilities companies. Contact operates three thermal power stations that employ gas and diesel. In FY2023, 7% of the energy Contact generated came from thermal generation. However, Contact has announced plans for further investment in renewable generation. This includes NZD 1.2 billion in geothermal power, by constructing a new station and expanding capacity at an existing station, along with early developments in wind and solar generation. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
-
Channel Infrastructure 1.07%
Fossil Fuel Production
Where companies are involved in the production of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal, shale oil) including exploration, production (including core services), storage, transport (except by rail) and refining.

Fund Provider Response
Contact (CEN) generates most of its electricity from renewable sources. On average over the past 5 years, 84% has been from renewable sources. This increased to 94% in FY23 and is expected to increase to 97-98% the next two years as it closes its largest thermal plant and completes renewable developments. CEN has committed to Net-Zero emissions by 2035.
Channel has closed its refinery operations and now is an infrastructure company. It owns storage and transportation assets for refined product and the transportation is via pipeline which would be more efficient and less carbon intensive than rail.
