28186 (2026). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister for Energy: When he said “we will not be putting a levy on people’s power bills” to pay for an LNG impot facility, what, if anything, is preventing gentailers from passing costs onto consumers?

Hon Simeon Brown: The Government’s approach is that gentailer contributions reflect their role in managing dry‑year risk, similar to how they invest in other generation or insurance assets like renewable energy assets.
