Retirement Villages
Who We Work With
Private Utility Network Solutions for
Retirement Villages.
Unlocking Value while Staying Focused on Residents
Retirement village owners need reliable and well-managed infrastructure, so their team can stay focused on their residents.
Tenco partners with retirement villages and property group owners across New Zealand to help them unlock more value from the electricity infrastructure within their properties without adding unnecessary complexity to their internal teams.
For retirement villages, a private utility network can generate an additional income stream, improve visibility over energy use and support better asset management and sustainability reporting, while Tenco manages the day-to-day billing, compliance and network administration.
Benefits for Retirement Villages
Create Financial Value from Existing Infrastructure
Private utility networks enable retirement villages to generate income from the electricity infrastructure within their property. Tenco partners with retirement villages and property group owners across New Zealand who want to unlock more value from their assets.
Reduce Operational Complexity
Tenco manages the network on your behalf, giving your team confidence that the operational work is being handled by an experienced provider.
Secure Competitive Electricity Supply
In parallel, Tenco may manage an electricity supply procurement to make certain you secure the most competitive offers available in the market. You win when more companies compete for your business.
Improve Reporting and Visibility
At no further cost, Tenco provides automated monthly consumption and demand data to clients. This supports asset management, financial reporting, sustainability reporting and long-term planning across the village.
The process
How it works.
A clear, low-risk path from first numbers to a fully compliant, revenue-generating network — three steps, no obligation to start.
Step One
Quantify the opportunity
At no cost, Tenco performs a preliminary assessment of your property and provides a tailored solution with financial projections for you to consider.
Step Two
Validate
Tenco performs further due diligence — which may include a site inspection and coordination with your electrician — then prepares an agreement to operate the network on your behalf.
Step Three
Meter installation & set-up
We arrange a market-compliant meter to measure consumption across your network and complete all regulatory requirements. You then receive monthly invoices and annual reporting.
