Tina Schirr, Executive Director Energy and Innovation, BusinessNZ Energy Council said: “Higher costs have been mainly because of low water, and a lack of gas and wind supply.”

She further added: “A lot of people were keen for Tiwai aluminium (NZAS) to stay on to secure jobs and protect the environment.”
