Connecting you with electricity and gas energy
Connecting with us
We own the network of lines, cables and pipes that keep the lights on and the gas flowing for homes and businesses across the communities we serve. We work with you to continue building our networks as those communities grow to provide safe and reliable supply now and in the future. Find out how to connect with us.
We're currently experiencing high demand for our new electricity connection service. Thank you for your patience as we work through everyone’s requests. Your work matters to us, and we're committed to keeping you informed while we get you connected.
Electricity for home and business
Whether you’re a homeowner or an electrician working on a customer’s behalf, learn how to connect to our electricity network.
From changing an existing connection to building a new home or developing a subdivision, you’ll find guidance on our connection process, what’s required, and pricing information.
Gas
Our underground gas network delivers energy to homes and businesses across Taranaki, Horowhenua, Porirua, Wellington, Hutt Valley, Manawatū and Hawke’s Bay. Gas provides reliable energy for everyday needs like hot water, heating and cooking.
Solar power for home and business
If you’re installing solar or another form of electricity generation at your home or business, you’ll need to apply to connect it to our network.
This helps us make sure your system is safely connected, works reliably, and can export excess energy back to the grid where possible.
Flex solutions
Flex solutions help us manage peak demand without always needing to build more network capacity. By shifting when electricity is used, flex reduces costs and gives customers the opportunity to be part of the solution. Get in touch with your flex solutions.
Pricing
We deliver electricity and gas to your property through our distribution network. This is one part of your energy bill.
Your retailer combines several charges into the bill you receive. Each year, we set our prices to recover the cost of operating, maintaining, and investing in our network. These charges are paid by your retailer and included in your bill based on how you use the network.
