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, and evidence shows that energy generated from fossil fuels accounts for 17% of generating capacity and 8% of the company’s revenues.

Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
