The elected Trust oversees the operation of Unison and, on behalf of the consumer-owners, the trust receives a dividend which it shares out to all owners. Simply, by having a power account for a property linked to Unison, you are a shareholder. Each year we issue a dividend payment to shareholders based on billing details held by electricity retailers. The last dividend payment to Hawke’s Bay consumers was paid out at the end of November 2021.

The 2022 dividend payment has now been announced. A dividend payment of $240 will be paid to all power consumers in Hawke’s Bay who are connected to Unison Networks Limited (UNL). The dividend will be paid to customers in late November. For more information please click here.
