What are the STAR Awards?
Transpower's STAR Awards show our thanks and give recognition to the people who build, operate and maintain the National Grid – the people who are keeping the lights on for everyone in New Zealand.
The STAR Awards – which stands for ‘Safety Thanks and Recognition’ – are held every two years and champion best practice in our field.
The gala dinner to celebrate our finalists and winners will be held on Wednesday 11 October at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. We will also be streaming the awards ceremony, so whanau and colleagues who aren’t able to be with us on the evening, are still able to celebrate with us.
