The company officially opened the facility today and said in a statement that the installation of energy storage capacity is part of a radical transformation in how Vector manages the electricity network and responds to the need for innovative infrastructure development.

The firm owns and operates the power distribution network in the greater Auckland region, supplying over 544,500 homes and businesses. Among other products and services, it offers a residential solar-plus-storage solution.
