Huia Burt: Electric Kiwi CEO on sector disappointed with government's energy reform

Disappointment the Government's energy reforms haven't prioritised keeping electricity prices down. Changes include allowing Crown-controlled gentailers more government capital for projects, plans for a new gas import terminal and giving the Electricity Authority more power. Electric Kiwi CEO Huia Burt told Ryan Bridge this could result in wholesale prices reducing by about 2% per annum. She says that amounts to a few dollars off a power bill, but for a bold reform, we'd be talking hundreds of dollars less per year.
