27161 (2023). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister for Energy: Does the Minister intend to “introduce options to manage first mover disadvantage for new connections to local lines, including claw back rules to allow first movers (such as new EV charging stations that pay 100% of the upfront cost of lines upgrades) to recover a share of those costs from future connections to that infrastructure” as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Electrify NZ’ document, and if so, what advice, reports, briefings, aide memoires, or any other documents has the Minister, or any member of their Office commissioned on this by title and date?

Hon Simeon Brown: I refer the Member to reply number 27109 (2023)
