The Energy Minister says he's doing his best to improve the stability of energy supply. 

A new gas well at the Pohokura Production Station in Taranaki was switched on this morning. 

It will provide 4 petajoules of gas a year, which could power about 146,000 homes annually. 

Shane Jones says it won't be a silver bullet - but it will help. 

"So I'm working on various proposals as to how we can accelerate both money into the industry - and genuine economic ability."
