Dr David Prentice, the Chief Executive of Manawa Energy, has resigned from his position with effect from September 8, 2023.
The Manawa Energy Board agreed to a shortened notice period.
Dr Prentice joined the company as a director in 2019 and became interim Chief Executive in early 2020, with his permanent position confirmed in 2021.
During his time with the company, Dr Prentice successfully navigated the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and led the strategic change process, including the sale of the Trustpower retail business and the rebranding to Manawa Energy.
The Board expressed gratitude for his leadership and acknowledged his role in the company's transition to New Zealand's largest independent power producer.
Clayton Delmarter, currently seconded to Manawa Energy for three days a week and an employee of HRL Morrison & Co, will serve as interim Chief Executive until a permanent replacement is found.
Delmarter has a long history with Manawa Energy and is expected to maintain the company's momentum.
