I am always buying and selling MCY. It appaers to me that overseas investors hold these as a safety stop gap/currency fluctuation hedge, which increases the voloatility at certain times. But the solar transformation is interesting. I looked a solar at home but the payback period was too long. However I was talking to soeone in the know. It would appear that the pylons across the North and South Island are having particular problems due to rust. The galvanising either was not of a tough enoug spec or shoddy work. But what it means the costs of repair and replace will soon be astronomical. As mentioned above all of these costs are ultimately recovered from the consumer, which means that power prices will be set to rise, making solar more competitive. Meaning less demand for electricity, making it more expensive due to large overheads, and thus starts a chain reaction. Just where will the MCY and GNE be then?

So putting Jantars clues together the mighty waikato is where its at spinning out a bounty of power to flog off for a higher margin; with this the 2nd guidance upgrade. Got to be built into the s/p already ehh?
FY2017 EBITDAF guidance lifted to $520 million

Fish doesnt really know but feels the story is only just starting-its too late in this financial year to have a big impact on profit.
The story may really begin next financial year if we continue to see SI droughts and heavy NI rain.
Hydro and geothermal beats indonesian coal any day so sold out of GEN and bought mercury and more CEN(to balance risks and get a 16 cent divi soon)
