批评家们说,卢克森提出的电力税计划每年可提高家庭账单43-85美元,称这违反了他的无新税承诺。 Luxon’s proposed electricity tax could raise household bills by $43–$85 yearly, critics say, calling it a breach of his no-new-taxes pledge.

纳税人联盟批评该计划违反了卢克森的“不征收新税”承诺, 据纳税人联盟称,总理卢克森(Christopher Luxon)提议对发电征收每兆瓦小时2-4美元,预计家庭成本将每年增加43至85美元。 Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's proposed $2–4 per megawatt-hour levy on electricity generation is projected to raise household costs by $43 to $85 annually, according to the Taxpayers’ Union, which criticizes the plan as a breach of Luxon’s “no new taxes” pledge. 该团体警告该税估计使用2024年的一代和2026年的家庭数据,在失业率上升的情况下,会加剧生活费危机和伤害工作。 The group warns the tax, estimated using 2024 generation and 2026 household data, will worsen the cost-of-living crisis and harm jobs amid rising unemployment. 发言人James Ross认为该政策在经济上有害, Spokesman James Ross argues the policy is economically damaging and urges funding LNG investments through budget savings instead.
