Marlborough Lines Limited (MLL) owns and operates the electricity distribution network which connects over 25,000 homes and businesses across Marlborough.

As an essential service provider, MLL wishes to advise the Marlborough community that under COVID-19 Alert Level 3, MLL will resume most of its work activities. 

Winter storms sometimes cause power outages as power lines get damaged by wind and trees. As storm season approaches, Marlborough Lines advises that electricity restoration crews’ response to outages during a storm may be different under the COVID-19 lockdown.

On 25 March 2020, Marlborough Lines Limited (MLL) made discount payments to eligible consumers connected to MLL’s network, via their electricity retailer.

Ordinarily, MLL would issue a letter to eligible consumers outlining the discount payment process and amount receivable. However, due to the current COVID-19 situation, MLL will delay issuing these postal letters until when normal postal service resumes (i.e. when “non-essential” post is allowable again).

Electricity distribution company, Marlborough Lines Limited (MLL) is an essential service under the Government’s COVID-19 Alert Level 4 status. MLL will maintain the essential service of keeping its electricity network operational to ensure that electricity supply to homes and businesses in Marlborough continues.

To play our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19, our offices and depots are now closed to the general public. You can still contact us by phone on 03 577 7007 or email info@mll.co.nz.

Marlborough Lines is closely monitoring the rapidly evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation.
