The Mayor of the Ruapehu District wants the Government to step in to save two businesses facing closure.
Hundreds of jobs are on the line - with the Kariori pulpmill and Tangiwai sawmill both under pressure, as energy costs have gone up significantly in recent years.
A meeting on the fate of hundreds of workers is expected tomorrow.
Ruapehu District Mayor Weston Kirton told Ryan Bridge this is not a new issue - as Tiwai Point was bailed out.
He says the Government can cap electricity prices to allow the mills to get over the line until the issue evens out.
