Community

MainPower values its relationship with the North Canterbury and Kaikoura community.  MainPower is a major contributor to the well being of the region and impacts on the daily lives of residents and the success of business.

MainPower is particularly keen to ensure medically dependent customers are identified on its network system so that in the event of a temporary electricity outage our staff can be aware of your needs. If you are a Medically Dependent Consumer, please ensure we are aware of your needs. You can contact us on 03 311 8300.

MainPower's greatest contribution to the community is through its Customer Rebate programme.  If you are a Qualifying Customer you will receive a share of company profits in the form of a Customer Rebate, which appears on your monthly electricity bill. 

Over the last five years MainPower has paid in excess of $35 million in Qualifying Customer Rebates.

MainPower's support in the community is evident in a number of programmes and activities it sponsors.  We have developed a Sponsorship Strategy to ensure our support in the community is transparent and fair.

MainPower also supports Energy Efficiency in the community. The company has insulated over 1,000 homes in the region and carried out a number of energy efficiency programmes, both for residents in the community and for businesses. Learn more about MainPower's interest in Energy Efficiency through the company's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy.
