New Zealand Aluminium Smelter at Tiwai.
Contact Energy has signed an agreement with Rio Tinto to deliver the power necessary to restart the Line 4 potline at the New Zealand Aluminium Smelter at Tiwai.
The non-binding letter of intent for a power purchase agreement would support the restart of the idle Line 4 potline.
The smelter act would become a long-term customer for Contact's recently consented Southland Wind Farm, helping unlock new renewable generation and regional economic growth.
