Southbrook Touch Sponsorship

Spotlight on our sponsorships!

Every year, MainPower looks at ways we can support North Canterbury Communities – just like they support us!

We do this through sponsorships and community fund initiatives. Find out more below about our sponsorship with Southbrook Touch.

MainPower has embarked on a multi-year sponsorship with Southbrook Touch Referees. The funds are helping to provide new uniforms, update equipment, and facilitate courses and tournaments.

Since MainPower began sponsoring the Southbrook Touch, they have seen a huge increase in their ability to support and grow referees within the club. With increasing numbers of youth players signing up for their Touch Canterbury courses, Southbrook Touch is looking forward to seeing what the next two years of the sponsorship can bring – as are we!

Our sponsorships wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of every employee at MainPower, doing their part, representing MainPower when they are out working in our communities and being a friendly face that our customers can rely on.

We have so many sponsorship stories to share with you, so please keep an eye on our LinkedIn page, and here on our website for more!Take a look below at some of the youth referees benefitting from MainPower’s sponsorship.

If you know of a school project or charitable organisation within North Canterbury that you want to be considered for support, The MainPower Community Fund is a contestable fund available to community groups, cultural organisations or schools operating in or serving the North Canterbury region. In each funding round, there is a share of $30,000 available to be split between the successful applicants, with $20,000 be allocated for community organisations and $10,000 being allocated to North Canterbury schools.

Hot water load testing under way ahead of winter

Until mid‑April, we’re working closely with retailers to carry out hot water load testing as we prepare our network for the coming winter season.

These tests run for a couple of hours each day, Monday to Friday, with no testing taking place over weekends. Because each test window is relatively short, customers are unlikely to notice any changes to their hot water supply.

The purpose of this work is to help us better understand how much controllable load is available during the summer months. Gaining accurate insights now means we can model customer savings more effectively by reducing system load at peak times. It also helps us assess whether this load flexibility could assist Transpower in deferring an upcoming local transmission upgrade.

This testing is an important part of ensuring a resilient, efficient network that supports our community.
