What we do
Your sustainable energy future
We're here to connect communities.
We keep the energy flowing to more than 900,000 Kiwis across the North Island of Aotearoa, connecting the communities we serve to safe, reliable electricity and gas.
From urban and rural homes and businesses, to large-scale industrial operations, keeping our customers connected now and in the future drives everything we do.
