Notes

a Excludes 61km of circuits leased from others and operated by Transpower.
b To 2 decimal places only, higher accuracy used in calculations.
c For all years, figures for maximum demand kW and kWh injected and supplied include loads on circuits leased by Transpower. The effect of these circuits cannot be measured as metering equipment is not installed at the inter-connection points with Transpower-owned assets, but the difference is estimated to be no more than 0.1% of totals. Loads on Transpower assets leased to others are not included as Transpower does not collect operational data for these assets.
d Including sales to direct connected customers
e Minor corrections to previously disclosed 2009/10 data.
