Is Genesis Energy legit?
Legit, mixed reviewsGenesis Energy is genuine, a New Zealand power and gas retailer that also delivers bottled LPG, but a bill that does not match what you used is the classic headache. When nobody reads the meter, the bill is estimated, and the next real reading can bring one large catch-up amount.
What we checked
- Company registered since 1998
- Head office in Auckland
- Runs the Huntly power station
- Ratings on other review websites: 1.5/5
Watch out for
- A gas bottle delivery that misses its date, leaving the house without hot water or heating.
- A final bill or credit refund still outstanding weeks after you moved out.
- An email using Genesis branding that asks for your password or card details.

How do I get a refund from Genesis Energy?
To get a refund from Genesis Energy, ask for the credit balance on your account to be paid back to your bank account, by web chat or on 0800 300 400. When you move house or switch to another retailer, make sure the final bill is based on an actual meter reading for the day you leave, since any credit owed is worked out from that bill. If a bill was wrong, ask Genesis to correct it first and to confirm the new balance in writing.
Keep the final bill, a dated photo of the meter and the bank details you want the money paid into, and note the date you made the request.
Can I complain to Utilities Disputes Limited (UDL) about Genesis Energy?

UDL generally expects Genesis Energy to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every call, chat and reference.

Is that Genesis Energy email asking for card details real?
Not if it asks for your password or card details. Genesis says it will never ask for these by email, and it warns that scammers sometimes copy its brand in emails, letters, phone calls and fake websites.
