On the first Monday of 2025, we delivered our electricity safety education programme to the Tūpore Infrastructure Limited team in Hawke's Bay, engaging with around 50 people. The Tūpore team learnt practical tips to stay safe while working near electricity, helping make sure they return home safely every day. Our 'Be Aware, Electricity Kills' programme is designed for third-party companies and industries in our areas like forestry, scaffolding, roading and water companies. It promotes safe working practices and raises awareness of the services we provide to help keep everyone safe around electricity. Want to register your team for a visit?

Are you planning on planting near power lines? It is important to know what is safe and what is not. Even if planting season is still a little way off, it’s never too early to plan ahead. Keeping corridors free of vegetation and being mindful of where you plant near power lines can make a significant difference. We recommend property owners avoid planting near lines altogether if you can. If this is not possible, it is important to select the right species for planting. Overgrown vegetation like trees, hedges, vines or plants near power lines can cause power outages, safety issues and even fires.

Camberley Substation Update – Buckets of progress Shoutout to our team up in the bucket truck carrying out live line work to safely disconnect a 33kV cable from the overhead lines. This important work is another step in the process of connecting the new substation to the surrounding network as we work towards bringing the substation online. When complete, the new substation will make our network stronger and provide more capacity, supporting growth in the area and delivering reliable power to homes and businesses for years to come. It is great to hit the ground running this year, as we look forward to another year of delivering for our community.

Overgrown vegetation like trees, hedges, vines and plants near power lines can cause power outages, safety issues and even fires. As a property owner, it is your responsibility to keep vegetation clear of power lines to protect your home and community. Did you know? Recent regulation updates now require greater distance between trees and power lines. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gW4qxK4a Take a moment to check your property and help keep power flowing safely. If your trees are too close to power lines, contact your local arborist for cutting or trimming. They will get in touch with us before starting to ensure it is done safely. If we contact you about trees on your property, cutting or trimming them as soon as possible helps reduce power outages and keeps everyone safe. #KeepTreesClearofPowerLines #StaySafeAroundElectricity #PoweringThrivingRegions
