Just as PowerNet and our associated companies lead the way in best practice network management, Southland as a province was one of the leaders in public electricity supply, with Gore being the first town to provide public lighting in 1894. The first area to officially supply electricity to the public in New Zealand was Reefton, on August 4, 188. Electricity was initially used for street lighting and to power the Southland Frozen Meat Company which had been generating its own power since 1885. In 1912 the Invercargill Borough Council also began generating electricity using a coal fired power scheme for the town’s tramlines. It was the work of this committee that later ensured the development of the Monowai power scheme.
This legislation gave the Power Boards the right to produce, reticulate and sell power to areas that the Government did not supply but also gave the Government the right to take over any Power Board area, at any time, without payment. As a result of the legislation the Southland Electric Power Board SEPB was established in 1919. The SEPB was the first elected electricity board of this kind in New Zealand and became responsible for the rest of New Zealand being divided into power supply areas combining urban and rural areas. Around this time the SEPB purchased most electricity suppliers in Southland at this time, except Bluff and Invercargill.
The Southland Electric Power Board had built a good deal of the reticulation for the inner boundaries of Southland. SEPB built more 11kV lines and substations from the Lake Monowai Hydro Station site to enable distribution to a greater area when construction of Monowai was complete. The Invercargill Borough Council was also struggling to meet demand and in 1925 reached an agreement with the SEPB to purchase bulk electricity from the Monowai Hydro scheme. In 1926 the Gore Borough Council negotiated with the SEPB to supply electricity to their ratepayers for a penny a unit . In the same year the control of the main transmission lines throughout New Zealand were placed in the hands of the New Zealand Electricity Department NZED . The Ministry of Works began construction of the Manapouri Power Station and the first tailrace tunnel in 1964.
Construction of the Manapouri Power Station was completed in 1972 and began supplying the New Zealand Aluminum Smelter at Tiwai Point, close to Bluff. Up until the mid 1980’s generation, transmission and pricing of electricity continued to be controlled by the NZED, with distribution in Southland managed by SEPS and the MED. In 1991 the Government appointed a Board of Directors to a newly created company, The Power Company Limited, to manage SEPS on behalf of consumers. In 1993 the Electricity Market Company now M co was established to develop a market for the trading of electricity
