Electricity volume distributed in Auckland increased by 0.5% to 2294.4 Gigawatt hours (GWh) compared to the same quarter last financial year. This was due primarily to a 1.0% increase in numbers of customers connected over the previous 12 months, but that rate of increase has slowed, down from 1.4% for the prior comparative period. Volume per connection also fell slightly due to power savings campaigns this winter, and slightly warmer weather. This volume was 2.1 % below expectations.
