Customers

We are committed to delivering safe, reliable, affordable power to customers throughout New Zealand.

Our aim is to maximise the annual price discount credited to every account on the network. We are proud to deliver reliable electricity and world-class customer service to everyone connected with us.

Electra reduced line charges for the Kapiti & Horowhenua region by $3M from 1 April 2020 … read more.

Community Focused

At Electra we’ve always held a keen interest in promoting business and employment growth in Kapiti and Horowhenua. We believe business growth ultimately fuels regional growth and creates opportunities for everyone.

That’s why we support the Caring for our Community page, found in our local newspapers. This is a space where community organisations can promote themselves and their associated projects. Each month a new group is given the opportunity to spread the word, blow its own horn, encourage new members and specifically highlight positive contributions to the community.
