Stakeholders
MainPower’s Asset Management
Plan (AMP) is an annual document
that provides information on
asset management processes
and practices with a specific
focus on service targets and the
development, maintenance and
replacement plans for our assets.
The plan provides our customers

explanation on how we intend
to provide electricity distribution
services to our customers over the
next ten years.
Assessing the interests of our stakeholders assists us in defining our asset
management targets and objectives. The ownership of MainPower is held in
