    No typhoons in South Island,and Meridian are nice and close to supply huge irrigator's power demand.

    But the huge irrigator's power demand cannot equal 30% of the NZ electricity consumption. Which Meridian produces.
    I do agree we should disconnect from the North Island asap.
    Which would unfortunately destroy the share price of Meridian.

    For info., Percy has no MRP shares at present. But it was astute buying by Percy to only get Meridian on the IPO.

    You should also consider Powershop. By purchasing smart (e.g. their monthly specials available first week of every month) I average out at about 23c/kWh. Why pay more?

    I've been surprised to see MRP sink back down to the 2.16/2.17 range. Seems this afternoon buyers were pilling in trying to get some at 2.165. Got a small parcel at that price. Hopefully over time the buy back will push the price to 2.25+ for some gains.
