Our story

Northpower is a leading contributor to Aotearoa New Zealand’s electricity supply industry. With more than 90 years of network ownership, we have developed a reputation for excellence and innovation, providing commercially viable engineering, construction and maintenance solutions across the utilities sector including transmission, distribution, fibre and generation.

We are proud of our impact and contribution to the communities we serve. A contribution that goes beyond providing rock solid electricity and fibre infrastructure and construction services that keeps our local economy and the country networks running from our multiple locations across the motu (country). We build and maintain intergenerational infrastructure that delivers great outcomes for communities, households and businesses.

Our behaviours-based culture welcomes diversity, and we have a broad range of skills and roles across our network, contracting, fibre, future energy and corporate services teams. We care deeply about the safety and wellbeing of our more than 1,400 people.
