WEL Energy Trust

The Trust was formed in 1993 and on behalf of the community owns 100% of the local lines company, WEL Networks Ltd. It is a community trust and its core purpose is to ensure WEL Networks Ltd operates as a successful business for the benefit of the community. Surplus income received by the Trust is distributed to beneficiaries through electricity discounts, grants and other community investments.

We invite you to talk with us about how we might work with you and your organisation to achieve the Trust's Vision to 'emPower' Waikato - thriving, connected and equitable.
