4 March 2008

Today the Chairman of Aurora Energy, Ray Polson announced that Aurora is pleased to be associated with the ORC programme to improve air quality in the Central Otago area, along with the local councils and Contact Energy. He confirmed that the programme fits with Aurora's customer focus to assist the local communities that Aurora serves by ensuring that energy is used efficiently and wisely.

Aurora has set aside $400,000 of funding over the next two years which will be used to assist both the Otago Clean Air programme and also the Healthy Homes programme. The Healthy Homes project involves retrofitting insulation to existing homes so that a much healthier environment results for occupants.

Mr Polson advised that the funds will be spent approximately 50% in the Central Otago area and 50% in the Dunedin area. EnergySmart is coordinating the programmes on Aurora's behalf.
