Meridian Energy Limited is a New Zealand electricity generator and retailer. The company generates the largest proportion of New Zealand's electricity, generating 33 percent of the country's electricity in the year ending December 2013, and is the fourth-equal largest retailer, with 14 percent of market share in terms of customers as of December 2013.[3] Meridian was one of three electricity companies formed from the breakup of the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand (ECNZ) in 1998-99, taking over the Waitaki River and the Manapouri hydro schemes. Originally a state-owned enterprise wholly owned by the New Zealand Government, the company was partially privatised in October 2013 by the Fifth National Government, with the government retaining a 51.02% shareholding.
