Unison Networks Limited, trading as Unison, is the powerlines company that safely delivers electricity to businesses and homes across three of the North Island’s most popular regional tourist destinations – Hawke’s Bay, Taupo and Rotorua.  Unison is the fourth largest electricity powerlines company in New Zealand and is responsible for the design, development, operation and maintenance of electrical powerlines in these three regions.

Various electricity generating facilities send the energy that has been created to The National Grid (operated by Transpower). Unison then collects the power from specific supply points (grid exit points) to distribute via its powerline networks.

Unison distributes electricity to a supply area that covers approximately 11,000 square kilometres - from remote rural areas, to highly populated urban areas. Electrical energy is transferred through powerlines that extend for more than 9,000km across the three regions to reach over 105,000 connected consumers on behalf of the electricity retailers.

Unison delivers approximately 1,700 GWh of electricity annually. Unison has been serving the community and providing a service in this industry sector for over 80 years.

Unison is wholly owned by the Hawke’s Bay Power Consumers’ Trust.
