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.

Genesis Energy (GNE) is exploring running its Huntly Thermal Power Station on Biomass. This will transform GNE’s generation profile from 40% renewable to 95% renewable by 2035. GNE also has a Net Zero emissions target by 2040 which has been approved by SBTi.
