Northpower approved contractors

We have approved contractors to support you with any works required on our network.

We have a list of approved contractors in Whangārei and Kaipara who have undertaken training to be able to safely connect new lines or cables from your commercial property to Northpower poles or pillars.

When you need to undertake new connections or alterations around our network, we’ll need to know which approved contractor you would like to inspect and liven your connection from the list below. This contractor is your best option for any questions and information. They will also invoice you or your electrician for the work directly.

There are two types of Network Approved Contractors, each with a different role:

Network Approved Constructors

These contractors build the connection to the network.
They are responsible for:
  • Building any network extension required
  • Installing poles, cables, or underground lines if required
In short: They build it.

Network Approved Livening Agents

These contractors connect your installation to the live network.
They are responsible for:
  • Installing the meter
  • Inspects the work your electrician has completed
  • Making sure it meets safety and compliance requirements
  • Safely turning the power on (energising the connection)
In short: They switch it on.

Why both are needed

For safety and quality reasons, construction and livening are separate steps.
This ensures:
  • your connection is built correctly
  • all safety checks are completed
  • your power supply is connected safely and reliably
