Nelson Tasman Settlement Support

A Partnership between Department of Labour and Nelson City Council

Electricity

Network Tasman Limited, based at Richmond, distributes power to most of the region, excluding Nelson City, which is served by Nelson Electricity Limited.

The electricity distribution companies transport power to end-users on behalf of the electricity retailers, who sell the power to customers.

A range of national electricity retailers trade on the local networks. Most domestic users in Nelson City buy their electricity from TrustPower and in Tasman from Contact Energy, which can be found in the yellow pages.
