MainPower seeks innovative solutions to meet future energy demands.

MainPower New Zealand Limited is reaching out to industry experts and visionaries to help shape the future of energy for North Canterbury and Kaikōura.

We are inviting proposals to deliver non-network capacity solutions for our Zone Substations at Kaikōura, Cheviot and Hanmer Springs.

As an electricity distribution network owner serving over 44,000 customers, MainPower is dedicated to maintaining a reliable, resilient power supply. Our MPowered Future strategy focuses on addressing the opportunities and challenges that come with increasing renewable energy use, advancing technologies, electrification, and shifting customer expectations.

To support this mission, we have launched a Request for Information (RFI) process to gather valuable insights. This RFI is intended to help us explore innovative solutions, considering aspects like costs, timelines, potential risks, and supplier capabilities.

This is an exciting opportunity for organizations to contribute to MainPower’s journey toward a sustainable and forward-looking energy landscape. We encourage all interested parties to review the RFI documents and share their expertise.
