This is whats up - would dramatically cut revenues/cashflows
Even a 'renegotiation' (best case scenario) could cause revenues/cashflows to stagnate = dividends no longer expecting to increase at or above inflation (and possibly even decrease) = very, very bad for companies that are valued basically off being a dividend payer (as they are overvalued to ridiculously overvalued, depending on the gentailer, on any other metric other than yield)
They've had a long run of good performance so I'm not that worried about some adjustment to valuations.
I'm more concerned about local economic factors like long running under-target CPI, low business confidence, low impact fiscal policy and RBNZ not having many bullets left. Tiwai alone isn't a high impact event but the cumulative pressure may cause a downturn.

except for the 1000 direct employees and the thousands and many more down stream workers, say good by to the Southland economy along with the dairy industry re carbon credits, nice one Labour !
Rio Tinto having a go again can’t blame them with JK chucking them cash a few years ago. The reality is closing the smelter would cost a load and it’s still profitable at these prices
