The collective voice of consumer-owned power distribution in New Zealand

Energy Trusts of New Zealand - Better Together

Energy Trusts of New Zealand Incorporated (ETNZ) is the national organisation of consumer-owned power distribution. We represent and advocate on behalf of regional energy trusts located throughout New Zealand. These trusts are owners of companies operating electricity distribution networks on behalf of local consumers and communities.
