PM defends search for 50 MW of HFO generation

Mark Phillips

Prime Minister Mark Phillips yesterday defended the government’s decision to seek a three-year supply of 50 megawatts of power utilising Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO).

He said that the government did not want to be saddled with HFO generators as it transitions to natural gas by 2025 and this is the reason it is opting to rent generators for three years.
