We enjoyed attending the opening of Kaiwera Downs last week, marking an exciting milestone for this significant renewable energy project.

Pictured are some of our team who were proud to attend the opening and celebrate a project we’ve been closely involved in.

Over 100 people from our team contributed to the project, leading the design, construction and commissioning of the transmission lines, substation (which you can see in the background!) and wind turbine reticulation — critical infrastructure enabling the expanded wind farm to connect to the grid.

Thanks to Mercury NZ for inviting us to celebrate this milestone and recognise the work that has gone into bringing Kaiwera Downs to life.

ElectroNet is proud to be designing and delivering five new transportable Traction Substations for KiwiRail’s Wellington Metro Network.
Each substation will house 11 kV (AC) switchgear, a 2.5MVA transformer, a rectifier and 1500V (DC) switchgear.

Starting with the pilot site, we’ve moved from bespoke, one-off engineering to a modular, repeatable approach, with the buildings constructed by our trusted partners Brightwater & Coldstore in Greymouth, then electrically fitted and pre-commissioned by ElectroNet Services in Nelson before being transported to sites across Wellington.

It’s a pretty impressive journey for a building that starts life in Greymouth and ends up helping keep Wellington’s trains moving.
ElectroNet Consulting completed the electrical design, working alongside EDC - Engineering Design Consultants Ltd on structural design, Dalman Architects for architectural and Aurecon for heating and cooling design.
Come along to EEA 2026 to hear the full story behind this proven template for building electrical infrastructure at scale.

Pictured: The 2.5MVA Rectifier Transformer being craned into the first of the five buildings at the ElectroNet Services Depot in Nelson.

You can also hear directly from KiwiRail about the Wellington Metro upgrade and the role these five new substations will play in enabling faster, more frequent services.

Thumbs up from our grads during their presentations yesterday!

Our grads had the chance to showcase something they’ve been working on, from substation and transmission design projects through to power systems analysis, earth testing, commissioning and renewable energy connection studies. It was a great insight into the projects and experiences they’ve been getting stuck into throughout their rotations.

It was also fantastic to hear so many of them acknowledge the support, mentorship and guidance they’ve received from our senior engineers and technical specialists along the way.
A great showcase of their work and development throughout our Graduate Programme, and we also heard from those who joined remotely and aren’t pictured here!
