Significant future growth opportunities
Fuel Security Study concluded
•Cabinet set to consider further options for fuel resilience in New
Zealand, including an increase in diesel Minimum Stockholding
Obligations from 21 to 28 days (additional ~70 million litresof on-shore
storage), but not including reopening an oil refinery
Marsden Point Energy Precinct
•Government is considering Marsden Point Energy Precinct as a
potential Special Economic Zone
•Already making meaningful progress towards development of the
Energy Precinct with three growth projects committed in 2024 and
active investigation ofa biorefinery at Marsden Point underway
•Precinct supports fuel resilience, supports job creation and economic
growth. PwC estimates the Energy Precinct could generation ~$3.3
billion of GDP and 20,000 FTE jobs, over the 10-15 year construction
phase and, once fully operational, ~$290 million annually in GDP and
~1,150 FTE jobs
Other growth and energy resilience opportunities
•Potential diesel peaking electricity generation under investigation,
reflecting the significant advantage of investment already made in
diesel infrastructure at Marsden Point. Channel has no intention to take
electricity market risk
•Channel remains committed to pursuing the acquisition of terminal
assets outside Marsden Point
