KEY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Contact Energy (CEN, #5) has also announced it is working with CDC Data Centres to explore a potential 250MW data centre at Stratford, Taranaki, with co-located battery storage. The proposal comes as Contact reported a strong FY26, with EBITDAF up +31% to $1.01 bln, net profit up +62% to $423 mln and operating free cash flow rising +49% to $648 mln, supported by the integration of Manawa and a 2.9TWh increase in renewable output, taking total generation to 98% renewable. The Stratford project would potentially provide a major source of long-term contracted electricity demand, supporting Contact’s 11TWh renewable development pipeline while adding further battery capacity and regional investment. The project remains exploratory and is subject to consenting, securing anchor customers and project finance. Contact has also declared a FY26 dividend of 40 cents per share, including a final 24-cent dividend.
