Welcome to the Electra Trust Website

Electra is locally owned and controlled.

The Electra Trust represents the households and businesses in Kapiti and Horowhenua who are connected to the local power lines provided by its operating company, Electra Limited (see www.electra.co.nz).

Electra is wholly-owned by its consumers (the beneficiaries) who, in 2018, totalled 44,450 from Paekakariki in the south to Foxton and Tokomaru in the north.

The 'shares' are held on behalf of the consumers by a Trust, elected under a Trust Deed to represent the owners interests and protect their asset.
