**Mō mātou - About Connetics**

Connetics is a multi-disciplined, multi-regional electrical design, construction and maintenance business. We maintain and develop electrical infrastructure assets for energy customers throughout Aotearoa.

Connetics is ultimately owned by the ratepayers of Christchurch (via the Orion Group) and as such our financial returns enable the council to make further investments for the benefit of the NZ community.

The Orion Group’s vision is big and bold **“Powering a Cleaner and Brighter Future”**. Connetics’ part of this is to exceed our customers' current and future needs, take a lead in sustainability and deliver innovative future energy services.

Connetics works in a true design, supply, build, operate, and maintain delivery model having all services located at our main depot in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
