Electricity Giants Brace for Market Volatility Amid Energy Shortages

Contact Energy Limited (NZX: CEN) is set to report its half-year results next Monday, with other major electricity firms following in the next two weeks. Their financial performance will highlight the impact of last winter’s energy crunch and the challenges ahead as colder months approach. The first half of the 2025 financial year, ending December 31, saw low hydro lake levels, weak winds, and reliance on costly alternatives like gas, coal, and diesel. However, conditions varied across the two quarters, influencing the overall results. Market watchers will closely assess how power companies managed supply constraints and their strategies for the upcoming winter, which could further test energy security and pricing stability.
