Proudly supporting local causes
We are delighted to continue to support causes and initiatives that that uplift and benefit our Northland communities.
We proudly support these local organisations and charities who provide incredible services and opportunities for our communities.
Supporting local causes demonstrates our commitment to social responsibility and helps build stronger, more resilient communities.
Encouraging STEM in Northland primary schools
The Northpower Epro8 sees primary school teams from around Northland use their problem-solving skills and knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) to compete.
This year’s winners included St Francis Xavier Catholic School and Ngunguru School as overall 2025 champions, St Francis Xavier Catholic School who won Year 5-6 interschool final, and the Ngunguru School team who won the Year 7-8 title in their grand final.
“Seeing students learn about STEM, in a practical way, all while having fun and competing is inspirational and that is why Northpower love sponsoring this event.” – Northpower Community Partnerships Lead Arriane Christie.


Nurturing local business growth
The Northland Business Awards, organised by NorthChamber and powered by Northpower and Top Energy, are an opportunity to honour business excellence in Northland.
Award entrants are given Business Coaching New Zealand coaching, which includes pre-entry workshops, entry review prior to submission and review of any feedback from the judges.
The 2024 winners were recognised for showing excellence, including their ability to improve standards of business in their industry, showing adaptability in shifting business environments, and putting local people and communities first.
