3999 (2026). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister for Energy: Does he stand by his statement that an “accelerated delivery model could see an LNG import facility operational as early as 2027/28, depending on the type of infrastructure required” and if so, how, if at all, does the type of infrastructure required change the expected date an LNG import facility would be operational?

Hon Simon Watts: Yes I stand by my statement, and yes the infrastructure will affect the start date. More information will be available once a contract has been agreed with a preferred provider.
