The company that runs the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter has announced it has begun “exploring potential pathways” with electricity generators that would see the smelter stay open beyond the end of 2024.
New Zealand Aluminium Smelter (NZAS) chief executive Chris Blenkiron said it understood the importance of providing certainty to its staff and the people of Southland.
“There is lots of work to do, but we believe there is a positive pathway to securing a long-term presence for the smelter,” he said.
A spokesman for the company said it was “early days”.
