Network upgrades to support growing electricity demand

As more homes and businesses switch to electric appliances like induction cooktops, heat pump heating/cooling, hot water systems and electric vehicle charging, we need to upgrade the electricity network to support growing demand.

Major projects

Each year, we invest in major projects that extend or further develop our networks to make sure our assets have the capacity to deliver what our customers need.
