Hautapu GXP Project

We’re supporting the growth of our region and our communities now – and into the future

Regional growth

Over the next decade, significant growth is projected for our region, particularly the Cambridge area. Transport improvements have closed the distance with large urban areas, enabling commuting, residential growth, and commercial and industrial development. The Cambridge area is an attractive place to live, work and retire, promoting ongoing growth.

It is important that we invest in our network to ensure electricity infrastructure can keep pace with regional growth.

We have partnered with Transpower to develop a solution ensuring reliable and resilient power supply for our network.

We are partnering with Transpower to deliver a solution that ensures reliable and resilient power supply for our customers. We have purchased a site in the Cambridge area for a Transpower substation and Waipā Networks 33kV zone substation to reinforce the supply into Cambridge and provide extra capacity to our wider network.

This project is due to be completed in December 2024, keep checking here for further updates.
