Trustpower originated as a New Zealand utilities provider with activities in electricity generation and retail. In 2022, the generation arm separated to form Manawa Energy, while the retail arm, including the Trustpower brand, was acquired by Mercury NZ; by winter 2023 the Trustpower name had been transitioned to Mercury. The company is based in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, and is described as a mid-sized organization. The company has participated in renewable energy development, including a solar farm project near Hawke's Bay Airport announced in 2022. A more recent development is Project Huriwaka, a circa 230 MW wind generation plan secured by Manawa Energy, the generation arm formerly known as Trustpower. With Mercury NZ's acquisition of the Trustpower retail operations and the rebranding underway, the group now centers on energy generation and retail within New Zealand's utilities sector.
