Powerco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Powerco is the 2nd largest gas and electricity company based in New Zealand, with operations in New Zealand and Tasmania, Australia.

PowerCo is a 100% publicly listed company that arose from the energy reforms in New Zealand in the 1990s. It was formed, generally by acquisition, from a number of earlier power boards and gas companies including Manawatu-Oroura, Central Power, Thames Valley and similar. It supplies electricity to a wide swath of New Zealand's North Island including Taranaki, Manawatu, Wairarapa, Central Plateau and Thames Valley/Coromandel Peninsulat.

PowerCo also supplies gas to parts of the greater Wellington area, Hawkes Bay, Horowhenua and Manawatu.

PowerCo expanded into Tasmania, Australia.
