Waipā Networks Limited is a New Zealand electricity distribution company, serving Cambridge, Te Awamutu and areas extending to Kawhia, Hauturu, Pukeatua, French Pass and Paterangi.
[8] The first power in the Waikato from Horahora was switched on at Leamington town hall on 28 April 1921,[9] but it took another year to turn on the street lights in Cambridge,[10] as all the other local Boards had taken on staff and put in orders earlier.
[6] No election was held for the first Board, as a campaign had been run to have only one candidate for each area represented[15] and the consensus allowed a 1920 poll, for a £120,000 loan, to be carried without opposition.
[20] The Board met in several locations,[21] until their concrete office block at 486-488 Alexandra Street[22] was completed in December 1926.
The grid exit point will initially feed a single co-sited 33/11 kV zone substation, which will supply the distribution network in the rural area west of Cambridge areas and taking load off Cambridge GXP.
