The State Government is answerable on the financial life-line wanted by electricity retailer, the Aurora Energy.

The Tasmanian Liberals claimed that the State-owned company has sought the government for a $200 million cash injection for troubles in relating to cost of blowouts and its computerized billing system on the Bell Bay gas-fired power station.

A government spokesperson confirmed that Treasurer Michael Aird recently conducted financial briefings with Aurora Energy, and is expected to conduct more briefings in the next coming weeks.

Peter Gutwein, a representative of the Liberals Energy, said that Energy Minister Bryan Green should release the findings of the Pricewaterhouse Coopers report which the government commissioned 10 months ago.

"I understand that report details a number of challenges to the electricity entities in this state and also the structure in the energy market in this state," he said.

Mr. Gutwein added the federal government should also release findings on any financial mishaps with Aurora.

"They haven't ruled out Aurora asking for an equity injection so I think we can safely presume something's afoot," he said.

Mr. Gutwein stressed the need for the Energy Minister to explain the whole situation about Aurora Energy, its books, and if “it requires an equity injection.”

Aurora Energy is a government-owned electricity distribution and retail company based in Tasmania.
