Our history goes back to over 100 years ago when Te Awamutu and Cambridge’s Electric Power Boards were set up. They joined forces in 1993 and were finally named Waipā Networks in 1998. Fast forward to today, and we’re proud to work with Connexis | Te Pūkenga and The Lines Company to co-host the Annual Connection 2024, a three-day competition showcasing the skills of line mechanics and cable jointers.

Our network covers an area of 13,700 square km with over 4,500km of power lines, providing safe and reliable electricity to homes, businesses, and the community. We employ over 140 staff, with around 80% of our hunga (people) living locally on the network.
Join us as we showcase the work of these incredible professionals who keep our lights on. It's not just a competition – it’s an opportunity to witness these experts in action, understand the complexities they conquer daily, learn more about the industry, and explore potential career paths.
