I'm one of those shareholders. I got lucky and was allotted shares of the three gentailers when 49% of each were sold off a decade ago. Since then the dividends have pretty much paid for my power bills. It's a perverse situation we're in. I understand this now, and I fully support renationalisation.

While Kiwis shiver through record high power prices this winter, the big four power companies – Mercury, Meridian, Genesis, and Contact – have paid out a near record $1.37 billion to their shareholders.
