What assessment, if any, was undertaken of the impact of discontinuing Crown funding for Ara Ake on New Zealand's renewable energy transition?

Answer
I am advised there will be minimal impact. The Government continues to support energy innovation, and other funding opportunities will remain in place, including through the reformed science system.
