Network Tasman owns and operates the electricity distribution network in the wider Nelson and Tasman areas, excluding Nelson Electricity's supply area in Nelson city. This means that we look after the poles and wires that take electricity from the national grid.

We distribute power to more than 43,000 consumer connections in an area of 10,800 km2 in the northwestern corner of the South Island. You can find a map of our coverage area here:

Network Tasman is proudly consumer owned. This means that we are entirely owned by the consumers connected to our network.  The Network Tasman Trust holds the shares in Network Tasman on behalf of our consumers.  Since 1994 more than $245 million has been returned to consumers by way of discounts and dividends.
