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.
Our HVDC inter-island link is a key part of New Zealand's National Grid - transporting bulk electricity between the North and South Islands and balancing New Zealand's energy demands. We are at the early stages of an investigation looking to ultimately replace the existing submarine cables of the HVDC link and potentially add further capacity with another submarine cable.
