Electric and magnetic fields are produced by any wiring or equipment carrying electric current.

Common sources of electromagnetic fields (EMF) include power lines, household electrical wiring and appliances, motor-driven instruments, computer screens, telecommunications and broadcasting antennae, and mobile phones.

Wellington Electricity is committed to meeting our responsibilities to our employees and the community in managing EMF safely – by complying with all regulated requirements of relevant independent authorities.

We design and operate our facilities within current health guidelines (as established by New Zealand and international health authorities) and keep a close watch on scientific and policy developments regarding electromagnetic fields.

In all aspects, we remain committed to acting in the best interests of the communities we serve.
