Is the government considering fuel rationing or demand reduction measures?
Answered by
Hon Shane Jones
List MP · NZ First · Associate Minister for Energy
Answer
New Zealand has established frameworks in place to manage severe fuel supply disruptions, including provisions for demand reduction measures if required. At present, there is no change to normal fuel purchasing arrangements. If such measures were ever required, decisions would be made by the Government and communicated clearly to the public.
