The Commerce Commission is reviewing a massive spend-up signalled by an Otago lines company.

Aurora Energy has signalled it needs to spend $400 million to address historic under-investment in its ageing power pole network which has led to safety issues and unplanned power cuts.

The final proposed line charges from the Dunedin City Council-owned company, via another holding company, would be known in June.
