Powerco - South Waikato projects

Local lines company Powerco is investing over $80 million across the South Waikato to ensure your electricity supply is reliable now and in the future. Here’s what they’re working on:

South Waikato National Grid connection

This is Powerco’s largest project in our region. It’s a $43m new connection between Transpower’s Arapuni Substation and Powerco’s Putāruru Substation. The connection will provide a new supply line for 11,500 residents who currently rely on a single Transpower transmission line at Karāpiro for electricity. It also means there’ll be enough supply to meet growing demand in our region. Learn more
