    • Thanks for the catch on Hydro One, Arthur. As for the others, I wan’t hydro to be a significant part of a company’s business- enough so that it can drive financial results- to make the list. I left AQN out because it’s mostly a distribution and water utility (less than 15% of revenues are from power generation, and only a fraction of that is hydro.) Transalta Renewables (RNW.TO) is only 5% hydro, not enough to make the list. I have not looked at Transalta’s assets recently, but last time I looked they were a lot heavier on the fossil fuels than RNW.TO.

  1. These are the five listed hydro operators in New Zealand:

    Meridian Energy (MEL.NZ; 14.9TWh total, 87% hydro, 13% wind)
    Contact Energy (CEN.NZ, COENF; 8.5TWh total, 44% hydro, 39% geothermal, 17% gas)
    Genesis Energy (GNE.NZ; 6.8TWh total, 34% hydro, 46% gas, 20% coal)
    Mercury NZ (MCY.NZ; 6.3TWh total, 59% hydro, 41% geothermal)
    Trustpower (TPW.NZ; 1.8TWh total, >99% hydro, <1% diesel)

    Generation figures are from their 2020 annual reports.
