Contact Energy Limited has entered into a new agreement with Maui Development Limited to purchase between 22 and 26 petajoules of gas over a two-to-three year period. The new agreement replaces an agreement that expired at the end of 2014.

Contact's Chief Generation and Development Officer, James Kilty, said "The new Maui agreement, together with our existing contracted gas and reserves at out Ahuroa Gas Storage facility, provides Contact with additional flexibility around the way we use gas to run our thermal power stations. It's pleasing to have reached this agreement with MDL which extends our close relationship."
