Meridian issues demand response cessation notice to

NZAS

19 March 2024

As announced on 8 March 2024, Meridian Energy issued New Zealand Aluminium Smelters Limited

(NZAS) with a demand response notice under the NZAS Demand Response Agreement 2023-2024:

www.nzx.com/announcements/427693

Today Meridian Energy issued NZAS with a cessation notice under the same agreement, which will

see the demand response period end sooner than what was indicated in the original demand

response notice.

As a result, contract quantity under the electricity agreement between Meridian and NZAS will reduce

by 10 MWh per half hour from 19 March 2024 to 23 March 2024.

A copy of the demand response agreement is available on Meridian’s website at
