    Plans to future-proof Queenstown's power supply - include a new transmission line from Cromwell

    29 January 2026
    To meet long-term electricity needs, Transpower, Aurora Energy and PowerNet have confirmed the preferred transmission option for the region - is a new 110-kilovolt electricity line from Cromwell.

    It's part of the Energising Queenstown programme - including upgrades to local networks, more rooftop solar and battery storage and smart technology.
