About us
The Lines Company is proud to keep over 18,500 customers connected to electricity throughout the King Country, Ruapehu and Central Plateau.
While most of our customers are residential connections, we also supply electricity to major industrial businesses like the iron-sands mine at Taharoa and New Zealand’s largest lime quarry at Oparure.
Our head office is in Te Kūiti and we have operational depots in Taumarunui, Tūrangi and Ohakune. We have over 160 staff working across our region, with the majority in the field to maintain our lines.
We are a limited liability company, with a board of directors appointed by our community trust, Waitomo Energy Services Customer Trust. Our business operates in a regulated environment where revenue is controlled by the Commerce Commission.
