There was a great story the other day in the Herald about changes at the Norske Skog pulp and paper mill in Kawerau. They are shutting down one line which will half their electricity demand by 65MW and plan to have their own 22MW geothermal plant online by the end of the year. That's almost a year's worth of normal" electricity demand growth.
These changes will affect Might River more than Contact but are clear evidence of Contact's expectation of zero or low electricity demand growth over the next few years.
