OverviewHistoryOrganisationGenerationTransmissionDistributionConsumptionRetail and residential supplyIn New Zealand electricity was first generated within factories for internal use. The first generation plant where power was transmitted to a remote location was established at Bullendale in Otago in 1885, to provide power for a twenty stamp battery at the Phoenix mine. The plant used water from the nearby Skippers Creek, a tributary of the Shotover River. Reefton on the West Coast became the first electrified town in 1888 after the Reefton Power Station was
