Which option do you prefer?
Option Two – The alternative option – Keep Aurora Energy
Further comment
- any purchaser of Aurora would expect a profit in the long term. This is an additional cost which would ultimately fall on Dunedin ratepayers.
- retaining a physical asset is preferable to having an investment fund, which would be subject to global economic shocks that are highly likely in the next few decades.
- Therefore, selling Aurora may make sense in the context of a three-year council election cycle, but we do not believe it is in Dunedin's interest in the long term.
- we also oppose the loss of council control over a key utility .
