Comparatives have been restated to refl ect the one-for-nine renounceable Entitlement Off er in June 2011. 4 Contact Energy Limited Annual Report 2011 Chairman’s review The fi nancial year ending 30 June 2011 (FY11) was another wet year, with hydro storage levels averaging 120 per cent of mean. In particular the third quarter of the fi nancial year, traditionally a time of lower demand, saw strong infl ows into southern hydro lakes. This, combined with suppressed demand due to more diffi cult economic circumstances, made it diffi cult for Contact to achieve any real growth in earnings when compared to the prior year. In FY11 Contact achieved earnings before net interest expense, income tax, depreciation, amortisation, change in fair value of fi nancial instruments and other signifi cant items (EBITDAF) of $441.4 million, an increase of 3 per cent from $427 million in the 2010 fi nancial year (FY10). Underlying earnings after tax for the year were $150.9 million, an increase of 1 per cent from $149.8 million in FY10. Net debt as at 30 June 2011 was $1,194.8 million, compared with $1,347.1 million as at 30 June 2010. Late in FY11 Contact raised $351 million of equity through a one-for-nine renounceable Entitlement Off er to strengthen its balance sheet for investment in growth opportunities, the fi rst part of which is Te Mihi. Existing term debt comprises US$330 million (NZ$587.3 million notional equivalent) of US private placements of various maturities, $550 million of fi xed rate retail bonds and $100 million of fi xed rate wholesale bonds that mature in May 2014 and April 2017 respectively. Contact has additional liquidity available from $450 million of committed bank facilities, of which nil was drawn at 30 June 2011. The Contact Board of Directors resolved that the fi nal distribution to shareholders would be 12 cents per share, resulting in a total distribution for the year of 23 cents per share, a reduction of 2 cents from the previous fi nancial year. The 2011 distribution to shareholders refl ects the company’s fi nancial performance in the year in review. The distribution represents a payout ratio of 100 per cent of Contact’s underlying earnings. During FY11 Contact completed two signifi cant projects that will provide greater fl exibility for its generation portfolio, support earnings in wet years and provide greater security of supply. These projects are the Stratford peakers and the associated Ahuroa gas storage facility. In the fi rst few months of operation, these facilities have already had a positive impact by reducing costs during periods of low wholesale spot prices and delivering earnings during high price periods. During FY11 Contact also commenced construction on its Te Mihi geothermal development, near Taupo. Once complete, Contact will have a further 114 megawatts (MW) of base load renewable generation, which will provide further fl exibility in its generation portfolio and reduce reliance on its gas-fi red combined-cycle plants. The construction of Te Mihi refl ects Contact’s commitment to renewable generation and its belief that geothermal generation is the country’s most cost-eff ective way to meet future electricity demand. During this period Contact also received resource consents for three signifi cant renewable generation developments, comprising two wind farms and a further geothermal plant. During FY11 Contact increased retail sales, particularly through the Time of Use market. Contact was disappointed to lose residential and small business customers during the period and is committed to off ering excellent service and competitive pricing in what is a very dynamic market.

  • New Zealand Broadband: Free TV's and Fridges - the Consumer Wins but Is It Sustainable?
    MARKET PERSPECTIVE New Zealand Broadband: Free TV's and Fridges - The Consumer Wins but is it Sustainable? Peter Wise Shane Minogue Monica Collier Jefferson King Sponsored by Spark New Zealand Limited IDC OPINION The New Zealand telecommunications market is shifting; from a focus around better and faster connectivity, to service innovations and value. Consumers are enjoying better internet connectivity and a raft of competitive offers from more than 90 retailers. Retailers, however, are feeling the pinch of decreasing margins. Questions are starting to arise about the sustainability of such a competitive retail marketplace. Total telecommunications market revenues increased by 1.1% from NZ$5.361 billion in the year to December 2016 to NZ$5.421 billion in the year to December 2017. IDC forecasts that this growth will continue in future years with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.4% to 2021. However, this growth disguises the true story of a market that is displaying extreme price pressure and competition in both fixed and mobile. Overall, ARPUs are either flat or declining in both broadband and mobile and in the broadband space Retail Service Providers (RSPs) continue to compete away any chance of strong, sustainable ARPU growth. New Zealand telecommunication's structural separation and national broadband plan have created new constructs and market dynamics. The UFB initiative has commoditised fibre in New Zealand. Consumer fibre plan prices have plummeted from averaging over NZ$200 per month in 2013 to around NZ$85 per month as at February 2018. Fibre is available to more than a million homes and premises, and over a third have made the switch.

  • Determination of Critical Contingency Price in Respect of the Critical Contingency of 3Rd March 2012
    Determination of Critical Contingency Price in respect of the critical contingency of 3rd March 2012 Tim Denne ([email protected]) 20th April 2012 Introduction 1. This report sets out my determination of a Critical Contingency Price as required by the Gas Governance (Critical Contingency Management) Regulations 2008 (‘the Regulations’). The Critical Contingency Price is required in respect of the critical contingency of 3rd March 2012. 2. A critical contingency is defined under the Regulations. It is triggered when the operating pressure reaches a low threshold that defines the pressure required to “maintain the supply of gas across the relevant part or parts of the transmission system and to avoid disruption of distribution systems connected to the transmission system” (Regulation 25(1)(a)(iv)). 3. A draft report and recommended price was discussed at a workshop with interested parties on 16th April 2012. There were no objections to the proposed price. 4. My determination is that the critical contingency price for 3rd March 2012 is $11.10/GJ. The explanation is given below. The Event 5. A critical contingency was declared on the Maui pipeline on 3rd March 2012 following an unplanned outage of the Pohokura Production Station. The plant shutdown initially occurred as a result of a power outage at 3.40am, but production could not restart because of a fault in the plant heating system. The outage resulted in reduced supply and a low pressure being recorded at Rotowaro that fell below the threshold that triggered a critical contingency. The sequence of events is shown in Figure 1.

  • Fonterra Submission on CCM Consultation 24 July 2020
    Statement of proposal for amending the Critical Contingency Management Regulations Summary Fonterra welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Statement of Proposal for amending the Critical Contingency Management Regulations paper. Fonterra is a co-operative owned by around 10,000 New Zealand farmers, and as such we take a long-term view of both our industry and our country. We are New Zealand’s largest co-operative with 30 manufacturing sites spread across New Zealand with more than 10,000 staff working for the Co-operative in regional New Zealand. Natural gas is a critical energy source for 18 of our North Island manufacturing sites. Processing our farmers' milk within 12-hours of collection is vital to avoid the significant environmental damage from disposing milk on farm. The significant environmental and economic damage that results from an outage remains long after the gas has been restored. As our 18 sites are located from Whangārei in the north down to Pahiatua in the south, we are the only major gas user that is exposed to the greatest risk of a gas outage with each kilometre of pipeline to get to our sites. We have installed diesel fuel back-up at four of our sites to assist with mitigating some of the gas outage risk from various regional scenarios. This investment has been made based upon a range of factors, including how much could be utilised without jeopardising New Zealand’s diesel stocks. Fonterra considers that greater prioritisation of gas supply needs to be given to the dairy industry , especially during the peak milk months (September to December), to minimise both environmental and economic damage that would occur from a sustained gas outage.

  • Infratil Limited and Vodafone New Zealand Limited
    PUBLIC VERSION NOTICE SEEKING CLEARANCE FOR A BUSINESS ACQUISITION UNDER SECTION 66 OF THE COMMERCE ACT 1986 17 May 2019 The Registrar Competition Branch Commerce Commission PO Box 2351 Wellington New Zealand [email protected] Pursuant to section 66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986, notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition. BF\59029236\1 | Page 1 PUBLIC VERSION Pursuant to section 66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986, notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition (the transaction) in which: (a) Infratil Limited (Infratil) and/or any of its interconnected bodies corporate will acquire shares in a special purpose vehicle (SPV), such shareholding not to exceed 50%; and (b) the SPV and/or any of its interconnected bodies corporate will acquire up to 100% of the shares in Vodafone New Zealand Limited (Vodafone). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION 1. This proposed transaction will result in Infratil having an up to 50% interest in Vodafone, in addition to its existing 51% interest in Trustpower Limited (Trustpower). 2. Vodafone provides telecommunications services in New Zealand. 3. Trustpower has historically been primarily a retailer of electricity and gas. In recent years, Trustpower has repositioned itself as a multi-utility retailer. It now also sells fixed broadband and voice services in bundles with its electricity and gas products, with approximately 96,000 broadband connections. Trustpower also recently entered into an arrangement with Spark to offer wireless broadband and mobile services. If Vodafone and Trustpower merged, there would therefore be some limited aggregation in fixed line broadband and voice markets and potentially (in the future) the mobile phone services market.
