We’re very excited to announce that a new member is joining the ENA board. Garth Dibley, the Chief Executive of WEL Networks, was appointed as board member at the ENA AGM last week.
It’s a great time to come on board, with big challenges ahead and even bigger opportunities for our sector. We’re delighted to welcome Garth and look forward to his guidance and expertise as we continue to navigate this next phase for ENA and our members.
Garth brings broad leadership experience across New Zealand’s electricity sector, spanning generation, transmission, distribution and retail. He held senior roles at Transpower, including General Manager Grid Performance, and at Meridian Energy in markets, production, and external relations.
With Garth joining the table, our Board members are:
- Nigel Barbour, Orion NZ

- Russell Shaw, Top Energy
- Sean Horgan, Waipa Networks
- Jaun Park, Unison Networks
- Karen Frew, Powerco

During our AGM, Nigel and Russel were also reappointed to the Board for another term. We feel super lucky to have such might on our Board.
