This is the first new zone substation to be built on our network in 14 years and reflects the actual and predicted growth coming to our region.
The occasion was marked by open days before the substation was livened, and many from the local community, stakeholders along with our staff and their whanau came to learn about the inner workings of a modern substation.
More than ever people and companies are seeing Northland as a great place to live and do business,” says Josie Boyd, General Manager Network. “A growing population is creating more demand in certain areas of our network, and we are making the necessary investment in capacity to support this demand."
