Tv one news on Thursday night stated that three energy companies had Excessive profits
Meridian had a 55% profit Mercury had a profit of 42% and Genesis had a profit of 569 % or 1.3 billion dollars between the three of them.

We should all blacklist them and also put pressure on the government ( Jacinda Ardern and Megan Woods) to massively reduce their profits.
Particularly as the government is a majority shareholder in meridian.
