\u201cWhether it helps with groceries, power bills, or simply eases the pressure a little, we hope this payment brings some relief and a few more reasons to smile.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Entrust District covers Auckland central, east, and south, as well as Manukau, northern Papakura and eastern Franklin, which were formerly part of the old Auckland Electric Power Board. <\/p>\n

This year also marked a significant milestone for the trust, with more than $2.5 billion paid out in dividends since 1994.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, the annual Entrust dividend has provided a yearly injection of more than $120 million.<\/p>\n

Lee said it was a great achievement to support households and small businesses in the community for over 30 years.<\/p>\n

To receive the 2025 dividend, people must have been the named power account holder on the Vector electricity network in the Entrust District at midnight on Wednesday, August 13 this year.<\/p>\n

Entrust (formerly called the Auckland Energy Consumer Trust) owns 75.1% of shares in lines and gas company Vector, which are held in trust for energy consumer beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

Entrust sent letters and emails<\/a> to eligible power account holders in July seeking to confirm the holders\u2019 account details were correct, and whether they wanted to change the associated payment method.<\/p>\n

However, the deadline for any changes closed on August 8.<\/p>\n

Those who want to receive future Entrust communications via email should check and update their email details with their electricity retailer.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Entrust posted a message to its Facebook page sharing that incorrect information had been circulating online regarding this year\u2019s dividend payment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2025 Entrust dividend has not yet been paid yet \u2013 it will be paid in late September,\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n
