May be NWSV can buy Alinta. I am sure govt in no way would like uncertainty for 600,000 users.
It's only speculation of press at the moment. No one knows any figures. May be it's only going to reduce earnings from Alinta & not pose as a going concern problem.
Alinta can still increase charges for commercial customers as that market is not regulated.
One more trading day to go before we know the facts.
