The conversation around New Zealand's power supply is heating up again, just before winter.
Last week Kiwis were told to conserve electricity amidst a cold snap, over concerns there was not enough power to supply the country.
This is not the first time such a warning has been issued, and has prompted debate about where we get our energy from, and how we should be powering our national grid.
Today on The Front Page, Major Electricity Users Group Chair John Harbord joins us to explain what the issues with our power grid are – and how we can potentially fix them.
