Mike Casey: Rewiring Aotearoa CEO on the Government pushing ahead with the LNG terminal, scrapping the power bill levy
Published 2 weeks ago
Description
There's more scepticism about who'll end up paying for a new LNG terminal.
The Government's pressing on with plans but scrapping a proposed levy on power bills, intended to pay for the facility.
It's also announced stronger dry year supply requirements and penalties for gentailers.
Rewiring Aotearoa Chief Executive Mike Casey told Francesca Rudkin he hopes the facility doesn't get built – especially if the cost falls on gentailers.
He says it'll be a great outcome for consumers if gentailers are not forced to pay for it, but then the question of where the money comes from remains.
