What you should know about Network TAsman- Ltd
Network Tasman is continually looking for new technologies that give consumers the ability to control their energy use and reduce their power costs. An advanced meter sends your monthly usage information to your electricity retailer. This information will give us the ability to manage the supply of electricity to your home more efficiently and effectively. Installing advanced meters in homes and businesses provides a greater understanding of how our consumers use energy.
Over time we expect that your electricity retailer will share your electricity usage information with you so that you can make better decisions about how you use electricity in your home or business. As more homes and businesses get advanced meters, it is expected that your electricity retailer will introduce ways for you to be able to view your electricity usage either via an in home LCD display, via a secure website or via a secure app. set energy efficient appliances to interact with your advanced meter to alter usage to suit your lifestyle and manage electricity costs.

The story of electricity supply to the Nelson region has always been a complex and dramatic tale but there has never been so much growth and change in as short a time as during the past 20 years. In this region, the former Tasman Energy Limited chose to retain ownership of the distribution business which was renamed Network Tasman.
The first electricity supplier in the region was Kohatu farmer Robert Ellis. Three years later he secured the region’s first licence to supply electricity commercially, using the waterwheel of a Brightwater flourmill. His company, the Waimea Electric Supply and Manufacturing Co. , continued as an independent supplier of the Waimea Plains area until 1933. The Motueka Borough Council’s suction gas plant started producing electric power in 1921 and the next year the Murchison County Council’s Six Mile hydroelectric scheme was commissioned, followed by the Nelson City Council’s steam powerhouse.
In 1929 the Waimea Electric Power Board was formed and almost immediately absorbed the Brightwater and Motueka plants, adding a hydroelectric scheme in the Brooklyn Valley. The Golden Bay Electric Power Board was formed in 1925 and commissioned the Pupu hydroelectric scheme in 1929. Although there was a widely held belief that the region needed a major hydro scheme, this was made impossible firstly by the Great Depression depression and then by the outbreak of World War 1. The Nelson region had to soldier on with small schemes and supplementary supplies until the Cobb scheme was commissioned in 1944. Despite the fact that the post war period was a time of expanding distribution and technological innovation and improvements, meeting power demand remained a problem.
In 1951 the Murchison County Council commissioned a hydro plant on the Maruia Falls, but major relief came only with the 1958 connection to the national grid. Until the early 1980s the focus remained on building and improving the region’s network, a process aided by amalgamation of the remaining suppliers. In 1963 the Waimea Electric Power Board merged with Murchison’s electrical undertaking and then in 1976, the Waimea and Golden Bay electric power boards amalgamated forming a new body the Tasman Electric Power Board. In 1990 the Government appointed experienced directors to replace the elected boards of regional power authorities and municipal electricity departments.
The five directors appointed to Tasman Energy faced a mammoth task the application of commercial principles to a local authority servicing an area of more than 12,00km 2. One of the fundamental issues the directors had to address was that of ownership. The Tasman Energy directors considered whether they should form a publicly listed company owned by private interests, form a company with shares vested in the local authority or form a company with ownership vested with electricity customers. In 1992 the directors recommended the establishment of a customer trust, which would hold all the new company’s shares on behalf of consumers. The public consultation that followed eventually gave the thumbs up to this proposal and the Tasman Electric Power Trust was established.
In 1996 the trust ownership structure was reviewed, as required by the company’s establishment document and trust deed, and continued with widespread support. In 1998, following the establishment of Network Tasman Limited, the trust was renamed the Network Tasman Trust, to reflect the new company name. The company’s focus is delivering a reliable and safe electricity network for consumers at the lowest possible cost. Network Tasman regularly makes discounts payments to its consumers and pays a dividend to its shareholding Trust the Trust that holds shares on behalf of Network Tasman Ltd’
