Northpower Trust 2025 AGM Bound For Whangārei

Northpower’s electricity consumers throughout Kaipara and Whangārei are being encouraged to attend the Northpower Electric Power Trust (the Trust) Annual General Meeting on 30 July, 2025.

Chair Phil Heatley says all Trust consumer beneficiaries connected to the Northpower electricity network can attend. They will hear from Trustees, along with the Northpower Board and Executive members about the company’s performance the past year.

Northpower Limited is owned by the Trust () on behalf of consumers connected to Northpower’s electricity network in the Kaipara and Whangārei districts.

Mr Heatley says he is looking forward to welcoming people to the AGM at Northland Events Centre on July 30.

“It is a good opportunity for Kaipara and Whangārei residents connected to the Northpower electricity network to meet Trustees, Northpower Directors and Management over a relaxed lunch.

“With more than 1400 employees stretching from Northland to many other regions throughout the North Island, Northpower is a significant home-grown success story we can all be proud of,” says Mr Heatley.

“An example of this success is the efforts of the team responsible for designing and building Northpower’s first grid scale solar farm - Te Puna Mauri ō Omaru - at Ruawai.

“Stage one of solar project is now fully commissioned with the 16.8 MW solar farm capable of generating enough electricity to power over 3,000 average residential homes.”

The Trust Deputy Chair Sheena McKenzie says in addition, phase two of the project was commissioned this month, delivering an extra 2.5 MW of clean energy, enough to supply a further 450 homes and businesses.

“Together, these milestones represent real progress in our commitment to a more sustainable and resilient energy future,” says Ms McKenzie.

She says on behalf of Northpower consumers, Trustees continue to maintain a thorough overview of electricity sector and regulatory matters throughout the year.

The Trust AGM will be held at Northland Events Centre, 51 Okara Drive, Whangārei. A light lunch will be served at 12:30pm.
