The Ōtāhuhu–Whakamaru A and B lines (OTA-WKM A&B) are an important part of the upper North Island transmission network, connecting the Auckland network to generation from the south. We have identified that 31 km of each circuit, from Flatbush to Hūnua, needs replacing due to internal corrosion.
Following feedback from our recent consultation, we submitted our proposal to the Commerce Commission for an increase to base capex allowance to recover the costs of this project. The Commission has given its final approval after rigorously testing our proposal to make sure we continue to deliver Kiwis a reliable electricity supply at the best value for money. You can review our consultation documents and summary of submissions below.
