The Electra Trust is a member of the Energy Trusts of New Zealand, representing the 22 consumer or partly-consumer-owned lines companies around New Zealand (http://www.etnz.org.nz)

This ensures Electra is kept fully informed on national issues affecting lines companies or the electricity supply market - and gives Electra the opportunity to provide input into ETNZ national policy and decision-making.
