Manawa Energy stock (ISIN NZTPXE0001S5) moved into Contact Energy's corporate structure on July 11, 2025, when the acquisition was completed. Simply Wall St reports that the transaction used NZD 1.12 in cash and 0.5830 Contact shares for each Manawa share.

July 11, 2025 changed the listing story

The transaction is the central fact for investors assessing MNW today. Manawa's operating assets remain visible in Contact Energy's financial reporting, while the standalone Manawa equity story has been folded into a larger listed electricity platform.

Sustainability Reports identifies the relevant Contact Energy reporting period as July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, giving the Manawa integration a full-year operating context.

2.4 TWh supports renewable scale

Manawa's hydro assets and contracted power purchase agreements contributed 2.4 TWh of renewable output during that FY26 period. The figure matters because it links the former MNW asset base directly to Contact Energy's generation scale rather than treating the acquisition as a purely financial transaction.

Kapitales reports that the integration delivered NZD 28 million in anticipated annualized cost savings. That amount provides a concrete comparison between the acquisition rationale and the operating benefits attributed to the combined business.

NZX records the original listing

The NZX company profile identifies Manawa Energy Limited under ticker MNW, lists NZ as its primary listing venue and records April 17, 1994 as its first listing date. Manawa is described as a renewable energy company operating hydro and wind assets by illuminem.

For investors, the useful lens is therefore asset contribution and integration economics: 2.4 TWh of renewable output and NZD 28 million of anticipated annualized savings connect Manawa's former standalone profile with Contact Energy's FY26 results.
