Shopping Centres
Who We Work With
Private Utility Network Solutions for
Shopping Centres.
Unlocking Value from your Shopping Centre Infrastructure
Shopping centres are busy, multi-tenanted environments where electricity infrastructure needs to be reliable, clearly managed and commercially efficient.
Tenco partners with shopping centre owners across New Zealand to help them unlock more value from the electricity infrastructure within their properties.
A private utility network can help shopping centres generate income, improve visibility of individual business energy usage, provide tenants with a choice of electricity retailer and support the asset management of the centre.
This creates a more structured approach to electricity management across multiple tenants, common areas and landlord supply.
Benefits for Shopping Centres
Generate Income from Existing Infrastructure
Private utility networks enable shopping centres to generate income from the electricity infrastructure within their property. Tenco partners with property group owners across New Zealand who want to unlock more value from their assets.
Support Tenant Choice
An embedded network can allow tenants to choose their own electricity retailer, giving them more flexibility and control over their electricity supply. This can be hugely beneficial where tenants have different operating hours, usage patterns and requirements.
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 Asset Management and Sustainability Reporting
At no further cost, Tenco provides automated monthly consumption and demand data to our clients for asset management and sustainability reporting purposes
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.

Don’t just take our word for it...
“A significant driver behind the embedded network approach was to streamline our processes and be able to offer our clients choice of retailer. Many of our clients were keen to pursue their own electricity supplier which previous to having embedded networks we were unable to offer.”
