A wide range of parties have highlighted their concerns with the current level of information being disclosed by the gas market participants, particularly if the information could help minimise significant downstream impacts, including impacts for the electricity market, for which gas currently plays a small but important role. Current dry year conditions also further highlight the importance of the Government's work on addressing a dry year problem through the New Zealand Battery Project. This project will help address our reliance on fossil fuels to cover our dry year risk. I want to thank the Economic Development, Science and Innovation Committee for their work in consideration of this bill. I also want to thank those who took the time to submit and provide their feedback.
