from The Age (print version) 7 Aug 15  New Zealand is saying goodbye to coal-fired power generation with Genesis Energy advising it will permanently shut its last two coal burning generators by December 2018, amid ample supplies of renewable energy generation and subdued demand…….

Genesis, which is dual listed in Wellington and Sydney, said the closure of the coal plants would move New Zealand closer to its 90% renewable energy target by 2025.
