Asset Management Plan

PowerNet is responsible for the management of the electricity lines and equipment, known as assets, on behalf of the OtagoNet Joint Venture.

The OtagoNet Joint Venture's Asset Management Plan details how PowerNet intends to build, maintain and reinforce the distribution network over the next ten years while meeting agreed service, safety, quality and profitability targets.

Customers of the OtagoNet Joint Venture are consulted about the service levels they prefer and the price that they are willing to pay. This is known as the price / quality trade off i.e. cost of power supply versus number of power cuts. Customers' views about service levels are combined with the OtagoNet Joint Venture and the Government's required service levels to form the foundation of the Asset Management Plan.

The OtagoNet Joint Venture Governing Committee and PowerNet have to find the right balance between cost to the customer, safety, environmental requirements, service levels and network investment.

The Electricity Distribution (Information Disclosure) Requirements 2008 require the Plan to be publicly available.

The Plan looks ahead for the next ten years and is updated annually. The latest Asset Management Plan is dated March 2010 and is for the period 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2020.
