Peter has a wide
appreciation of all aspects
of electricity supply. At
various times he has
specialised in substation
design, computer control,
line design, hydro operation
and economic modelling.
Employment in South Canterbury, Horowhenua,
South Taranaki, King Country Energy and Bay of
Plenty Electricity culminated in 2 years involved in
restoring supply with the UNDP in Iraq under the
oil for food programme. It was refreshing to work
in an environment where people craved electrical
supply, queued to pay for it and respected
engineers.
On returning to NZ after the second Gulf war Peter
became District Engineer for the Ruapehu District
Council and has subsequently been promoted to
Chief Executive Officer.
Charging for monopoly services, taxation and
perceptions of fairness have become Peter’s
passion over recent years.
