About Undergrounding Print

Down with power poles! How your Trust is helping bury them forever.

Thanks to the AECT’s majority ownership of Vector Ltd, we have an agreement with Vector that commits millions of dollars to undergrounding in the Trust district every year. The original agreement was for an average $10.5 million to be invested every year. This increases each year in line with the PPI (Producers Price Index) and is now around $12.5 million a year. This project has seen the look of streets all over Auckland change – so far, power lines in more than 108km of streets have disappeared.
