Kia ora Chuck,

Thank you for your below request under the Official Information Act.

I just want to clarify one aspect of your request. Currently one of the bullet points in your request reads as "Impact of electrical infrastructure and the natural environment”. I wanted to check whether that reads as intended or whether you meant 'Impact of electrical infrastructure ON the natural environment'.

It would be great if you could get back to me by COP 10 February.

Many thanks,
Maggie
