Greenpeace Executive Director, Dr Russel Norman, says the Tiwai closure will release a huge amount of low-carbon and affordable power back onto the grid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe Tiwai closure will mean cheaper power for New Zealand households. It also means there is more clean, renewable energy that can be used to power our cars and industries as we move to a zero carbon economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis will cut climate emissions out of the transport and industrial sectors, while simultaneously helping to reduce New Zealand\u2019s current account deficit by cutting the billions of dollars we spend on importing oil for the transport sector.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large  caption-style-blue-overlay caption-alignment-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/07\/50d21b5d-tiwai_point_aluminium_smelter-wikimedia-commons-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/07\/50d21b5d-tiwai_point_aluminium_smelter-wikimedia-commons-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/07\/50d21b5d-tiwai_point_aluminium_smelter-wikimedia-commons-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/07\/50d21b5d-tiwai_point_aluminium_smelter-wikimedia-commons-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/07\/50d21b5d-tiwai_point_aluminium_smelter-wikimedia-commons-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/07\/50d21b5d-tiwai_point_aluminium_smelter-wikimedia-commons-453x340.jpg 453w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/07\/50d21b5d-tiwai_point_aluminium_smelter-wikimedia-commons.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Rio Tinto&#8217;s Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter is set to close in August 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>\u201cTranspower is already developing the transmission capacity to bring the surplus power north via the Clutha Upper Waitaki Lines project which already has approval.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWith a ready supply of clean and affordable hydropower now being made available, the Government should create the conditions needed to increase the number of electric cars, buses and trains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Norman also says Rio Tinto\u2019s departure blows any case for new coal, gas or oil development completely out of the water.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe argument for more fossil fuel exploration, extraction and generation is over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Norman says the Government needs to move quickly to develop a plan to deal with the Tiwai closure. This includes ensuring a just transition for workers in the region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe market isn\u2019t going to solve this. We need the Government to manage the transition of both the energy sector and the Southland community through what is a significant time of upheaval.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The Government must use its Covid Recovery Budget to invest in new job opportunities for those affected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Norman said the Tiwai Point smelter has only survived this long because of massive handouts from the Government, cheap power &#8211; subsidised through higher household energy bills &#8211; and exemptions in the Emissions Trading Scheme.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cEvery few years, Rio Tinto has had the Government and the power companies over a barrel, threatening to leave more than a thousand people jobless if they didn\u2019t receive Government subsidies and rock-bottom power prices.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cContact energy has been on the record confirming that they offered cut-price electricity to Rio Tinto in order to keep wholesale prices high in the broader electricity market, costing New Zealand households everyday through their power bills.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cJust last week, we all found out that Meridian had been manipulating the market to line their pockets by ripping off New Zealand households. These companies haven\u2019t been looking out for the team of five million. Government leadership is needed to fix our broken energy system so that it\u2019s both cleaner and fairer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n<div class=\"EmptyMessage\">Block content is empty.
