At the heart of the electricity sector, Transpower proactively plans for the grid of the future that will connect new renewable energy projects and enable a transition to a net zero carbon economy.

Enquiries to connect to the Grid from generators, distributors, and end-users have doubled in the past three years and these projects are cheaper and faster to build than ever before.
