Unison networks has announced an increased dividend to its shareholder, the Hawke's Bay Power Consumers' Trust.
Unison chairman Kevin Atkinson said the result was pleasing, despite a decline in the after-tax profit this year.
He said the power company was committed to meeting increasing customer needs in the wake of emerging technologies altering the energy landscape.
The benefits of Unison's embedded real-time network control operating platform and smart technologies deployed across the network were now being realised.
Mr Atkinson said he was pleased that Unison Fibre and Unison Contracting Services were delivering positive results.
