Network Tasman Trust
The Role of the Trust
The Trustees appoint the Directors of the Company and approve the Statement of Corporate Intent (SCI) for the Company which, under the Energy Companies Act 1992, requires Network Tasman Limited to operate as a commercially efficient organisation and to achieve the rates of return set out in the SCI.
By achieving its targets, Network Tasman Limited is able to pay a dividend to the Trust. The Trust is then able to provide a distribution to Network Tasman Limited's consumers.
The Trust also holds a capital investment fund arising from the proceeds of the sale of the Company's energy retailing division in the 1990s.
The Trust uses income from the dividend it receives from Network Tasman Limited and income from the Trust's investment fund to:
Meet the running cost of the Trust
Maintain the value of the Trust's investment fund
Allocate approximately $100,000 per annum to consumers and community organisations within Network Tasman Limited's distribution area by way of grants.
Provide an annual distribution to Network Tasman Limited's consumers
