Summary
Genesis Energy Limited reported strong operational performance in Q3 FY26, highlighted by increased hydro generation due to favorable conditions, while thermal generation decreased as Unit 5 remained largely offline. Customer numbers saw a decrease of 6.6%, but electricity netback improved to $173/MWh. The company updated its FY26 normalised EBITDAF guidance to $515 million–$545 million, driven by disciplined cost management and favorable market conditions. Genesis made progress on strategic priorities, including battery energy storage systems at Huntly and solar development projects.
