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.

Aurora, under its draft plan to the Commerce Commission, estimated an average household’s monthly electricity bill would increase by 18 per cent, or about $21 a month in residential line charges.

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

Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

The proposal has been driven by the Government's plan to move the country into Alert Level 2 on Thursday, with council staff considering ways to encourage people to return to Dunedin's CBD, albeit at a safe physical distance.
