What Electrix does
Electrix Limited, trading as Omexom New Zealand, is a New Zealand-based engineering, construction and maintenance services contractor focused on energy and electrical infrastructure. Founded in 1955 and headquartered in Auckland with 669 employees, the company delivers turnkey solutions across gas infrastructure, transmission lines (HVDC, underground, overhead), substations (air-insulated, gas-insulated, converter), distribution networks, and rail/transportation electrification, including emerging offerings in battery energy storage systems, EV chargers, and renewable energy integration.
Since 2014 Electrix has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VINCI Energies within the France-based VINCI Group (consolidated turnover exceeding €22.1 billion across 100+ countries), rebranding under the international Omexom brand and gaining access to a global engineering and capital network. The company serves asset owners in the utility, industrial, commercial, resources, and infrastructure sectors, with named customers including Transpower (New Zealand's national grid operator), Électricité du Mozambique (EDM), and local authorities.
The business model is sales-led and relationship-based: services are delivered through direct enterprise sales and long-term partnership contracts, with revenue generated across three streams — engineering/design services, construction (capital works), and ongoing operations & maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with B2B enterprise contracting. Beyond its New Zealand core, Electrix/Omexom maintains project offices in Senegal, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, Ivory Coast, India, Guinea, Greece, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mozambique, executing international assignments such as the rehabilitation of the Mavuzi and Chicamba power plants in Mozambique for EDM with support from the Agence Française de Développement.
