Major network investment projects in 2019

Published 04 June 2019

During 2019 we’re spending $9.53 million on a number of upgrades to our network, including planning for the new Maunu substation build – our first new substation since 2007.

Network Spend

Key projects for this year include:

- Kioreroa substation 33kV upgrade (completion in May 2019)
- Onerahi substation upgrade (completion in May 2019)
- Whangarei South substation upgrade (completion in December 2019)
- Pole and conductor replacements across the network (ongoing)
- Maunu substation commission and build (completion in January 2022

These projects will help ensure a reliable power supply to meet our customers’ future needs, while improving safety and environmental compliance along the way.

If you're interested in learning more about upgrades happening on the Northpower network, you can read more in our Asset Management Plan documents.
