MORE THAN 40% OF EVs are on Auckland roads
Vector’s ambition is to create a new energy future by:
The approach favoured by the ICCC* to reduce emissions from the energy sector includes REPLACING ~2 MILLION VEHICLES with EVs by 2035 A FAST 1 EV CHARGER can add the equivalent demand of 8.8 houses to the grid
Making data-driven decisions to invest more cost-effectively
Empowering customers with choice to better manage their energy needs

Enabling Auckland growth through asset relocations and new connections
Deepening our understanding of customer needs

Making our network more intelligent to improve management of peak loads
Integrate digital assets and new energy solutions to benefit consumers
Growth and EV uptake puts pressure on infrastructure.
It’s a sector-wide challenge to transition New Zealand to the future of energy. We have a shared responsibility to:
New technology can shift our network peaks and keep energy affordable.

We are trialing new things.
POWER DOWN TRIAL to see if customer incentives can reduce peak loads
MANAGING MULTI- DIRECTIONAL POWER flows with network connected energy resources and digital platforms FLATTENING PEAK DEMAND with network batteries TARGETING ASSET MANAGEMENT through better data PUTTING MORE EV CHARGERS ACROSS AUCKLAND to fuel EVs and track usage trends
VEHICLE TO HOME (V2H) TRIAL to see if V2H can control loads and boost customer independence DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (DERMS) ongoing platform development
NEW CUSTOMER CHANNELS (BOTS)
