Mercury’s MLC clearance decision
- Wholesale
The Electricity Authority Te Mana Hiko has today published a decision paper outlining the reasons for our clearance of a contract between Mercury and New Zealand’s Aluminium Smelter (NZAS).
We cleared Mercury’s draft agreement with NZAS under the materially large contract (MLC) provisions in the Electricity Industry Participation Code (2010).
A finalised contract was subsequently signed by the parties and publicly announced on 31 May 2024 and the clearance remains applicable.
