What we're doing
We need to continually operate, maintain and develop New Zealand's transmission network – the National Grid – to ensure we meet the ongoing electricity needs of New Zealanders.
A critical part of New Zealand's power system is our HVDC inter-island link made up of Pole 2 and Pole 3. We are undertaking a project to refurbish the six HVDC Pole 2 transformers (three each at Benmore and Haywards).
