Trials and programs

Explore the trials and programs we're running to test new technologies and ways of managing the network, from EV charging infrastructure to smarter approaches to energy use.

See what's currently underway and browse the results of trials we've already completed.

Current trials

Pole-mounted electric vehicle charger trial

We are deploying 100 pole-mounted electric vehicle (EV) chargers across our network.

Completed trials

Flexible hot water

Our flexible hot water trial explored ways to shift a portion of water heating to the daytime to use cheap, abundant solar power.

Flexible exports

Flexible exports let eligible homes and businesses export more of their surplus solar. Rather than apply a low static limit, exports are matched to the real-time capacity of the network.
