Answer
Any speculation around the potential impact on ratepayers is purely hypothetical and clearly it is important to ensure that ratepayers are not caused any needless concern, particularly given the pressures on household budgets at this time.
Meanwhile, my Department will continue to work closely with DOE, arc21 and Local Councils on this important matter.
