To convert it to electricity.
How is this going to save the planet exactly?
Guess where all that power will need to come from? Just watch Huntly burning more coal to meet demands.
NZ needs more power than ever as EVs continue their uptake.
What's more, that money could pay for many solar panels on people's homes, many kiwis struggle to pay their power bills and yet a big corporation gets a free handout.
They also will get huge subsidies much like Tiwai does.
It's a huge slap in the face that the rest of us pay a premium price for power while the largest users pay next to nothing for their electricity.
