he short term future of the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter looks safe, with news of a power deal between its owners and Meridian Energy.
New Zealand Aluminium Smelters Limited (NZAS) has issued a statement saying the deal - for 572MW of electricity until 2030, will allow the smelter's three potlines to remain fully operational.
