Contact Energy is a New Zealand electricity generation and electricity retailing company. The company generates 25% of the country's electricity from the Roxburgh and Clyde hydro-electric dams in Otago, and geothermal and natural gas-fired power plants in the North Island. In 2007, it has announced plans to invest NZ$ 2 million into wind- and geothermal power plants within the next 5 years.[1] Contact Energy was formed as an offshoot of the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand in 1996, and publicly listed in 1999.
