You're invited to a forum with the Minister for Energy, Simon Watts at EMA Business Hub in Grafton on Wednesday 18 March.
 
Energy prices and gas scarcity are top of mind for many EMA Members, with our spot market pricing spiking to the highest in the world in winter 2025. The Minister will update Members on the direction of travel for our energy market and listen to any concerns you may have.
 
You can expect to hear the Minister's perspectives on areas including:
  • Energy availability in winter 2026
  • New Zealand's energy future
  • The new LNG terminal and its impact on energy availability, markets and pricing
